fender after fork swap
« on: June 16, 2015, 07:18:20 AM »
I bought my 72 750 with a 86 GSXR 750 fork.it did not come with the fender and I cannot find one that does not make it look like a street bike what can I use in its place?

This is a common problem with modern fork upgrades. I went to great lengths to make a fender to fit the R6 forks on my bike. What do the mount points look like on GSXR forks. Can you post a pic?

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

The 88 and up 750 and 1100 GSXR front guards were bulkier than the early 750/1100 F,G,H model guards, I've owned both... ;)
Just remember those guards and braces in those links were to suit 18 inch wheels that the GSXR's had, the guard will fit but you may need small spacers {washersw} under the brace, you mightn't either but don't be too surprised if you do... ;)
