FENDER STAY LOWER CHROME - Replaces 97-4552
Chrome lower fender stay bracket that secures the front fender, superseded by 97-4552.
This is a chrome lower fender stay, catalog number 97-4535, listed in the FENDERS AND STAYS sections of the parts books. It's a bracket that ties the front fender down to the fork or lower legs, keeping the fender from flexing or rattling loose over rough roads. The catalog notes this part was replaced by 97-4552, so if you're cross-referencing an older parts book or a used stay you picked up, both numbers point to the same physical piece.

The stay is chrome plated to match the rest of the bright work up front, and it carries mounting tabs for securing the fender itself. If you're replacing a stay that's rusted, bent, or missing off a bike, check that the tab layout and kick-up shape at the mounting points matches what's currently on your bike before you order, since fender stays changed over the years and the parts book doesn't spell out every variation here.
We don't have a lot more detail on this one beyond what's in the fender stay figures. Give us a call if you want us to help confirm you've got the right stay for your setup before it ships.
