Cheers JMO that clears a few bits up.!

Ill be ordering a few bits tomorrow as its pay day so watch this space lol.........

My new high front fender arrived on sat just before leaving to go to brighton for the wrekend.

There wws no way I was leaving home without fitting it. I had to drill 2 small holes as the 4 provided were not quite in the right place. Other than that it fits perfectly! Ive used the tow loop underneath the fender to give it a little more support.

Anyway here it is........

It comes very close to the radiator but passes without catching. I did 200 miles on the m1 and m25 with no over heating issues. Allthough I think I will use a dremmel to cut a few vents in the back as I may experience overheating when moving at slow speeds.

Ive also removed the peg rubbers ro see how the standard pegs are. And so far they have been ace! Not had any discomfort at all. But the lakes trip with lots of standing up may change my opinion!

how's the high front mud guard going?

thinking of doing the mod myself but think there maybe loads of mud flinging up on the front of engine so might make a wee short mud guard like on the xtr to stop the mud flinging if its an issue

Been thinking along the same lines too. A genuine OE Yamaha lower mudguard for the R is just �16.78 and I reckon without too much messing about will fit. I'm going to risk it and buy one at that price and see what needs altering (before I buy a high guard). I'll let you know how it goes.

good man.

I bought a high front guard but haven't had time to fit it n just been thinking of my off road bike after a wee run always has masses of mud on front and don't fancy that on the tenere.

The one I bought which Bernard has popped a link to somewhere above does come down in front of the radiator.

I don't get any rubbing or over heating. We got nice and muddy up the lakes and didn't really notice any undue/unexpected mud on the rad.

I suppose it's personal preference more than anything. Personally the only reason whybI changed mine was because I hated the look of the standard one and felt it ruined the look of the bike.

Have u got the fender on get?

Ive got a high mud guard, and yes it allows the front of the bike to get plastered in mud!

the only reason i have one is (apart from it came with the bike) is that i dont want the sticky mud building up and braking the OEM (low) mud guard...or jammin the front.

Has this actually happpened to anyone though? is it an old wifes tale like swans can break your arm - how many people have you ever seen with a broken arm done by a swan! :)

for me it's mainly a looks thing as I like the motorcross and Dakar bike. part from that I like being different from standard

Sorted the XTR mudguard mod - works a treat! :D

Rather than highjack Chris' thread I've started a new one here
