Fitting after market mudguard to 06 Fireblade

Post by brigham »

Hi all,

Long time since I have been on here, but I expect Jay is still eating three Jasperisers each week! :D

Now then, my question...

I recently purchased a carbon front mudguard for my 2006 Blade. Looking at the fittings on the OEM when the mudguard is taken off, they cannot be transferred to the new carbon one as they have been riveted in.

Is there anyway to get around this or are there any fittings I can get hold of to ensure the new carbon one is secured correctly?

Cheers.

Drill out the rivets and then rivet into the new one ?

Post some photos so people can see what on earth you're talking about. I wouldn't know an 06 'blade mudguard if it jumped up and hit me!
