Fender complete, brake hose still needs reroute












I will be replacing the brake cross over hose with one direct from the reservoir.

I also need to check the fork travel to see if anything makes contact when impacting a pot hole at speed. adjustments will be made as necessary.

Thanks go out to those who did it before me.

Thanks.

I copied the turn signal mounts from Tigger of University Place WA

Resurrecting an old thread here, but I figured I would share my new "beaky" tiger. Looks like it was getting jealous of the younger siblings. Haven't decided which direction to go with the lower fender; may leave the rear section on to try to reduce spray.

Feels pretty secure, but I haven't tested at highway speeds yet, so it may still need a brace.

Fender complete, ...

Thanks RallyRoo for bringing this thread back up.

Jon; if your still around, do you have a stepped back pic of this?  Would be interesting to see the aesthetics of how it looks from a full bike side and front view.  Hard to tell the overall affect with the pics being of just the fork and fender.  That and I want to see a Yellow Tiger as Im thinking paint scheme's lately.

Awesome fabrication. Kudos for that.

I am going to be getting dirt tires and wanted to put a high fender on the old girl.  Is there a certain fender that works best?  How does the mounting work?

I did two things.  Kept the stock fender but cut off the front.  I found an old mx fender for $5, cut it to size and used two very crude L-brackets about 9 inches long screwed into the two holes under the bottom yoke.  20,000+ miles and going strong.

I am not a big fan of beaks on bikes, but this combination  looks really cool.

The "TigRat" in one of its earlier iterations had a high level universal MX mudguard:



It was attached using exhaust U clamps on the fork stanchions and some homemade  brackets on the mudguard.

I took it off and replaced it with a standard front as it caught the wind on motorways (and didn't do much for the fuel consumption!)

This is the best close up I have:
