Got a rear hugger and front fender from the USA. Trying to take advantage of the strong pound. Razz Got stung by customs though. Chance you take I suppose. Confused They charged me £13 which I didn't really mind, but the post office also charged me £13, which I'm not too happy about. Mad Anyway, I think the rear hugger looks the part, but I never realised I'd have to take the front wheel off to replace the front fender. Shocked So that will need to go on later as I don't have the tools to take off the wheel. Thumbs Down

Looking good Ritchie, if you still have your K1 in about a months time I might be tempted!

Very nice Thumbs Up

Aye Aye, gies a minute. Laughing It's on the list, though I think the next thing is a screen, then R&G bobbins for the forks. Will probably pick up a tail tidy at the bike show in a couple of weeks.

You don't Exclamation

Just squeeze the back part together until it can go between the forks.

What's holding your bike up? Laughing

I was going to say, is the new mudguard not flexible enough to squeeze it between the forks?

Done it a couple of times myself, but I must admit mine is an aftermarket fiberglass unit.

Well I put on the front fender today. The rear one fitted in lovely but the front one was an arse of a fit as it was poorly made Evil or Very Mad Wasn't too happy about it as I had to force it into position, which inevitably led to some paint cracking. Still, it looks lush. Thumbs Up

Don't think I need braided hoses TBh. The brakes seem fine as they are. I might pick up a screen at the bike show if I see one. Thumbs Up

No I suppose not. I just put braided hoses on the K1 though and the K4 brakes still feel better.
