Title: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: supertjeduc on September 16, 2009, 05:49:27 AM For some time i had a 848 fender on my M900S
I didn't like it because the gap between tyre and fender was to big (http://supertjeduc.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p910420438-4.jpg) I found the easy fix (and for free Just flip the brackets form up to down en from left to right Fender is about half an inch down (http://supertjeduc.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p412089454-4.jpg) (http://supertjeduc.zenfolio.com/img/v0/p459338640-5.jpg) Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: junior varsity on September 16, 2009, 06:42:27 AM my god those are bad ass brakes. looks like stock lines? still bad ass rotors and calipers though.

Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: junior varsity on September 16, 2009, 06:56:16 AM Oh, very cool. Saw the color scheme as the same as stock, so I wasn't sure. Beringer brakes?

Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: pennyrobber on September 16, 2009, 09:18:49 AM Good fix. It is interesting though about the gap. I put a stock 848 front fender on and the gap was about the same as the monster. Maybe its just the carbon. Looks good either way.
Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: rule62 on September 16, 2009, 12:29:50 PM I've got a 1098 fender on my 620. Used to have a 748 fender on it. The brackets on my bike are straight. There is no difference in flipping them. the bolt hole is in line with the strap part that goes around the fork bottom. Interesting. I agree that yours looks better with your bracket type flipped.

Interesting. So what are the clamps with the rise from? I never knew they existed, and I wish that I had them. The slicks that I race with grow at speed so the front fender has a hole burned into it from the tire. Part # on those clamps anyone?

Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: junior varsity on September 17, 2009, 08:14:10 AM My forks ('99 Showas) don't have any such tabs you guys speak of. Can somebody who has their fender off take a quick pic and show me what you are talking about?

The slicks that I race with grow at speed so the front fender has a hole burned into it from the tire. Part # on those clamps anyone? I'm guessing here, but on my '05 620, the OEM front tire was a 60 series profile and had the white rings with no rise on them. I know some, if not all, of the bigger bikes come with a 70 series tire and would then need the rise on them to help clear the tire--or at least it'd provide an additional margin of safety.

Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: junior varsity on September 22, 2009, 10:56:43 AM Are those Discacciati?
.... If so, where did you get them? Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: supertjeduc on September 23, 2009, 12:20:05 AM Are those Discacciati? .... If so, where did you get them? No ALTH ,i saw them ebay and did a search and found that it was a Italian brand which was a bit expensive ,so i bought for half the price on ebay ;D Title: Re: Gap 848 fender on monster Post by: junior varsity on September 23, 2009, 04:51:57 AM Nice. ALTH rotors are good stuff.
