Where'd you score that front fender? Did you pay full OEM price for it?
The fender was from 2 separate ebay finds. I got the red fender over a year ago. I came on the brackets w/ a cream fender that had a scuff on the top of it; it looked like maybe they had run up under a bumper. After putting it on, I found out the brackets were bent a bit. A little straightening in the vise, and I got them settled in place. Can't remember the fender price for sure, but I think it was about $40 shipped. I scored the brackets (and cream fender) for $90 shipped. I've wanted to do this for awhile, but was having trouble talking myself into the Ducati prices. I had to get the mounting rings from Ducati - about $20 total.
Did you have to do anything to the front fender other than getting the GT1000 clips for the forks?
W/ the right mounting rings, it's a direct bolt on. Almost laughably easy compared to some of the mods the people here have done.
Nice Penske- if I had a Penske I'd also have a hugger
The Penske was another ebay find. I had an AL hugger I made on there for awhile, till I hit a road where they were cutting trenches across the road for cable/lines of some kind. The last one had alot of the gravel washes out and the suspension completely compressed. The shock remote hit the hugger and dented it, which the tire then caught and folded over. I haven't quite decided how to remake it yet. Now this chainguard makes it even more interesting since I have to come up w/ another mounting on that side.
I have some more playing to do w/ it. A friend is trying to get me to add a small piece painted red under the AL. It would match the fender that way, but I haven't looked yet how I want to go about doing it. Maybe something to mock up today and see if I like it. :-)
