Rear Mudguard Fitting

<< < (2/2)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Firstly do the two front holes that have the built in dead eyes where you fit the front plastic section look centred evenly on the new part?

Before you fit the rear bolts does the gap either side look pretty even in the frame?

Have you got all the parts that sandwich between the indicator brackets ?

I loosly bolted the rear section in place not fully tightening them up but there were slightly nipped up against the plastic front section.

I then fitted the rear bolts through the indicator bracket & the various rubber spacers & the steel spacers that fit through the rubber - there should be enough movement to centre everything before you tighten everything up. You could add some extra rubber washers to make up any small difference between left or right.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Do these pictures help at all?

When you fit both bolts it should pull the mudguard evenly if there is a slight difference in the curve of the mudguards,

Oddjob:
I'd just grab the mudguard and spread it a little by hand. Done that a few times in the past.

XS850:
Thank you for all the replies, Ted, those pictures help greatly - with the shaping of mine where it mounts to the rear bolts it’s a bit different but maybe with some suitable persuasion I can get it to look & fit right - luckily all the relevant fitting holes line up correctly!
