Front fender and rear shocks

(1/7) > >>

El__burro:
I am trying to figure out what way do the front fender go.
Please have a look at the picture to see if I am making a mess.
The other thing is the rear shocks.
I am having big problems with the nut to hold them in place. I have tried 17cm bolts but they are too small, the next size up is too lose. Any idea?

Thanks

Honda use alot of M10 fine threads, rear shock lower bolts with standard unit are M10 fine and top fixing nuts are usually M10 fine.

Standard M10 thread is too coarse, useful to buy a thread pitch gauge to check what you are dealing with.

mike the bike:
There should be another stay on the mudguard. 
As Martin says, the rear shock nuts are M10 X 1, which is metric fine thread, as opposed to the usual M10 X 1.5

Lobo:
Ref your comments Mike...  I (think I agree) and yet when I bought my K2 it'd been fitted with a similar mudguard to El burro's. The odd thing was that the included fork brace was correct for my early K2 forks.... implying some (where in the world?) CB750s had these fenders?

Anyways all burro.... hope these pics of use.

Waggles:
I THINK the single stay guards were fitted in the US? they also have a shorter front portion ( Perhaps why the other stay wasn't fitted? ) British weather requires something more substantial!  ;D

El Burros shows a more symetric shape and I think I can see hints of a hole and staining where the missing stay was fitted? Hence my vote is also a missing stay and on backwards.
