Fitted my front mudguard today (Polisport)...Removed the towing eye completely and only had to use a small spacer at the rear to allow the rear of the guard to clear the radiator plastic guard screws/bracket. ideal for the job were the spacers that come off kids BMX or cheap mountain bike brakes. The spacers re where the brake blocks get adjusted to allow them to meet the rim at an ideal angle. No doubt every house has an old bike from which to steal them from. I also fitted a Pipercross foam air filter but have yet to take the XT out for a blast to see if there's a difference.

Spacers...only about 5mm I'd say
