2011 front fender mount??

[fullthrottle]

How does the 2011 front fender mount to the bottom triple clamp?
I am doing the 06-11 transformation so mabye the later triple clamps mounts are differentthan the 2006.
If thats the case what are people doing to make the front fender work, make a bracket?

2010 48mm triples have the 4 x threaded holes in the bottom/underside of the clamp. Bolts feed from below the fender directly to triple.

PS. The fender in your kit is different to the one in mine (which wasn't a conversion kit, just a 2011 plastics kit).



It makes me think yours might have an adapter bolted on already for maybe earlier models. I'd remove the plastic part on yours that sticks up in the photo.. if possible

as it is in the photo the guard is bolted through rear holes but the front holes sit infront of the triple clamp inline with the nuts on the bracket

When I did mine I just drilled 2 extra holes in the fender so they lined up with the original ones.

I also made a bracket to fit the peg into that's at the bottom of the headlight shroud.

drill and tap the triples

wasnt sure what way would be better new holes in triple clamp or guard
just wondering what other people have done

It's the same fender he just needs to mark on the lower triple the holes in the plastic bracket and drill and tap them then bolt it on.

I'd drill & tap the triple clamp. When all bolted up to the triple clamp with the plastic bracket the fender is very rigidly mounted.
