Mk1 1200 bandit front mudguard.

[smirk]

I hate the front mudguard! Before I attack it over Xmas to make it less squashed slug like.... is there any others models that sort of fit? 

[Toecutter]

Rf900 and gsx r  slabside any good? Think the rf one is quite similar to squashed slug though...

Slabside has a larger diameter front tyre, the radius of the mudguard won't work because the bandit needs a 17 inch mudguard

Pictured here is the opposite, an SRAD mudguard over a slabside wheel. Took a lot of time and another mudguard to get it right

I've been staring at it again... and now thinking of trying to modify the mounts to side mount like mk2 forks to enable ordinary "un slug" round guard to fit. I'm fed up of goolgle images as every type with the flat top mount seems slug like.

You could also find a mud guard you like (glassfiber replica) and do some fiber work in order to modify that so it matches how the original one fits onto the alloy brace ?

The inazuma  has a nice old school look to it.. , could be plug and play..

[Peterv]

oh yeah 

before you guys go apeshit on my bike..

I rescued this one from a "wanne be a harley cruiser" guy...

Im gonne completely rebuild it...

 

[Peterv]

I’m just in the process of fabricating a couple of brackets to fit an alloy mudguard to my mk1 bandit, 

Quite simple really

I cut down a B12 mudguard on my Zed project,  not perfect but it'll do till I sort a better one out.

That was my thoughts...and it will get it closer to the tyre.

Guard is from Eblag, seller is causeway-316,

handmade from 3mm aluminium, very nice quality and not too expensive at £57

hoping he can make me a rear guard to match, but he’s not very good at answering enquiries
