Crap... I got the 999R front end for the 748 project and was messing around with the front fender. It somehow found its way onto my SV project and I thought the shape really worked nicely with the lines of the bodywork. Only problem is it don't quite fit. What to do...?
I know! Let's cut up this perfectly good fender and MAKE it fit! Then, just like we did with the SV tank, we'll have a plug that can be used to make a mold and then a carbon fender. Cool, let's do it.
Oh, and if you like the looks of this and you're running this same front end ('03 GSX-R 1000) or front ends that run the same fender, this 'about to be' fender will bolt right on to your bike, too.
So, first I cut the 'legs', extended them with popsicle stick and hot glue, filled it all with expanding foam, figured out the clearances and drilled the mounting hole locations to get the initial fitment...
