Front fender issue
Written by woodshed48 on 6/20/2010 at 01:41 am

Better term is the rubber mud flap that screws into the bottom rear of the
fenders.

I also noticed that the tab on the right disc cover broke off. It locks on the
bracket just below the axle bracket.

I haven't tried eBay yet.

thanks.

plastic disc covers? If so, trash them and go coverless. I made some brackets
and got rid of the covers. Maybe Dick will sell you his if he didn't use them? I
like the looks better with the disc brakes showing. Pics of my bike without
covers is in the Photos section under bike hauler. I was looking at my buddies
ST1100 and I think that front fender might fit? In fact I think the entire front
end off of a ST1100 would fit on the PC. Ebay anyone?
