Meerkat Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Good afternoon all, The strip down of my 11 project is in full swing and I wanted to pick your collective brains regarding the above. My question is....does the front mudguard need the massively heavy mild steel brace that sits underneath ? I'm sure Suzuki fitted it to ensure it remains stable and in shape @ 170+mph but I want (read that as need as original is fahoooked!) to buy replacement but dont want to refit brace if its not required ? My bike will be streetfightered so it aint going above 130-140mph unless my neck muscles can get stronger! Thanks for help, Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment
Swiss Toni Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It may be a bit of a fork brace too? Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I got rid of mine years back, the forks are so rigid on the 1100m/n that flex can't be a problem. That bracket does act as a shield for the slider, against stones etc that could chip the chrome - I fitted plastic deflectors on mine, the late 750 forks on it now have no bracket and the mudguard is shaped to protect the slider - you'll be fine, that crappy mild steel rusts for a pastime, weighs 1 1/4 pounds too. 1 Quote Link to comment
