GSXR W fender bracket removal?

[Upshotknothole]

Is there any easy way to ditch that big metal bracket that goes under the front fender on the Ws? Seems like the fender is strong enough on its own to not need that thing. I need to pull mine apart, but thinking I should be able to just use nuts in place of it. Thanks

Not mine, but image added to show what I'm talking about.

I ditched the one on my 7/11 over 20 years ago and the mudguard holds fine. Only the brake lines need some new brackets made to prevent them from scratching the paint.

Also cut away all the non needed parts on my 750M Fender ... really dont understand why its made like this.

I ditched it, then started using a mudguard from a TLR.

They look pretty similar, TLR fender a direct swap?

Direct swap. Just check for spacing around the rotors.

Thanks! And I can get a carbon fender this way.

Interested to know where you are getting your carbon front fender.  I might go down the same route.  Would you be OK to share where you are getting it?

Bought it off Eblag from a company in California. It was either them or direct from China, and this one very well could have been made in China, but the quality seems good enough for my needs.

 

 

Just search for TL1000R carbon front fenders.

Thanks and appreciated.  My mistake, I was searching for GSXR 750w carbon front fender and missed the detail on the TLR swap.

They’re pretty damn similar. I’ll take photos of them side by side this weekend. Don’t really see much in the way of carbon 750W parts out there.
