Title: Newer fender on older bike? Post by: greenmonster on January 08, 2009, 05:19:39 PM Has anyone fitted a -00 or newer front fender to a 90`s Monster?
Possible? How to make brackets, guess you need such? Looks OK, anyone got pics? Maybe stupid question, someone ought to have done it already if possible but I got a sweet deal on a carbon one going.... Title: Re: Newer fender on older bike? Post by: JEFF_H on January 09, 2009, 09:55:51 AM The older bike has 40mm spacing bolted directly to the fork, the newer one has 65mm spacing using a strap that goes around the forks
maybe you could make some sort of bracket to adapt one to the other...but i dont think it is going to be simple. better to get the one made for your bike (although the older ones are getting hard to find) Title: Re: Newer fender on older bike? Post by: teddy037.2 on January 09, 2009, 06:04:55 PM +1
you're gonna be looking at fab work. oooorrrr.... change your forks to the ones w/the newer spacing! [evil] Title: Re: Newer fender on older bike?

Title: Re: Newer fender on older bike? Post by: greenmonster on January 10, 2009, 06:19:08 AM 40/65mm spacing I`m aware of.
But, got the seller to measure leg to leg, seems my fork legs are about 20mm wider apart. Could this really be true, were there new yokes from -00? Title: Re: Newer fender on older bike? Post by: ducpainter on January 10, 2009, 06:35:08 AM and my idea wont work.
