Front Fender
 

I'm probably being a bit thick here, but how do you get the front fender off without scratching the paint work :puzzled:

Hmmmm .... good question. I got a cheapy (ish) front mudguard with the race fairing with the intention of swapping them for track days, but as you can see from my Avatar I have not bothered. Couldn't see how to get it out easily without dropping the front wheel out! Or maybe I was making too much of a meal of it and it's really easy onece you know how. :P

yeah, I Know what you mean, I had a right mare trying to squeeze it through the forks, in the end I gave up thinking I would have to take the front wheel off, maybe there is a way and it is easy when you know how:puzzled:

Apparently the wheel has to come off !

I know whats its like you start bending bits and are just waiting for the cracking sound. Get a front stand, wip the wheel off.

The front stand is so usefull anyway when working on the bike to be able to have it totally off the ground.

you can force it out by twisting etc.. but it takes a lot of force and you can easily scratch the paint.

I took it out that way for painting but decided to whip the wheel out to put it back in. Just as quick and worry free!

Thanks for the advice, wheel off it is then:eureka:

i did it without removing wheel..
i put a cloth where it would have scratched..
( put it back same way as well-- handy with extra pair of hands !!)
