Yup, i got one.  :icon_mrgreen:

Its a one piece billet type, its for the Yamaha R1, fits just fine, although you need the bottom rubber gasket piece from the original cap.

Scroll down the pics to see it.

I still got the jist of it anyways....lol!  So what are the details on finding a front fender just like yours?  And fitment instructions?  :hat10

rf9rider

Front fender is made by Acerbis.

Probably best for you to google it for a shop in the USA, they are available over there as a couple of USA owners have them fitted.

Having the Trophy/Steamer forks, i fitted another top triple tree under the bottom one and bolted the fender straight onto that, when i had one fitted to my first Steamer, theres a couple of mounting holes on the bottom tree you can use.

Aeronica made me the fitting bracket and posted it to me, send him a PM, he`s a good bloke!

Or you could buy yourself an original Steamer top triple tree and use that as a mounting bracket.

Exact fender name is Acerbis tecnik.

So you replaced the lower triple tree with a upper tree then?  Interesting.  Thanks for the info.  That fender seems to be discontinued atm......I'll keep looking around though.

Thanks!

rf9rider

I didn`t replace the bottom tree with an upper, i fitted an extra upper tree below the bottom tree to use as a bracket for the fender.

If that makes sense  :icon_lol:

Just had a look at the lower tree to attach the mx fender.  Did you guys switch your brake cables to two full length cables or did you work around that funky 3 banjo intersection?
