Meerkat Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good morning all. A question for the masses on the subject of the front mudguard under brace/bracket for late 90's GSXR's fitted with USD forks. Have any of you re-fitted the mudguard or fitted a replacement (possibly carbon) and NOT used/re-fitted the brace ? It seems a massively heavy (& ugly) piece of future rust that was likely only fitted as a precaution by Suzuki to stop the guard flexing at very high speed (and given the 11's were capable of 170+ thats understandable) rather than is required to support it during normal use. Whats the general feeling out there ? Quote Link to comment
banoffee Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Got rid of mine, had no problems. 750L. Quote Link to comment
Meerkat Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Cheers Banoffee. Have heard from a couple of ex GSXR owner mates who said same. One had 1100N AND later a 750M and got rid in place of pattern plastic and a carbon. The other guy had 1100L and also fitted pattern plastic without brace. Both reported NO issues.

Captn Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I modified mine to mount the AirTech fender as it did not hug the tire tight enough. Removed some material as well. I felt the brace was needed as it is also has the brake caliper hose retainer loops on each side. Quote Link to comment
