High fender MX style on a Steamer

[Bob Tosi]

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?

The Acerbis Front fender for a CRF450 Honda works great

you need some spacers about 3/4 inch long and a pc of flat aluminum to make a fender mount out of
the bottom of the triple tree should have a pair of tapped holes already that yo can use to mount the aluminum plate to

As always Oni Wan Tiger Kanobi,  thx

do you have to change the break lines on the Steamer? I know the Girly needs to be converted to dual lines all the way from the MC

[Bob Tosi]

Don't think so but it sounds like a good idea to check

The Girly has one brake line from the MC to one of the calipers. then a short line jumps across the top of the stock fender to the other caliper.

This is a Steamer with 1 line from the mc to the bottom of the triple clamp where it goes to each caliper.

No, you can use the original brake lines.

Hey aeronca have we talked before? I recognize your avatar.  Steamers rule!

You can use a fender from a KTM LC4 and customize a bracket for it. No need to move brake hoses.

Aeronca sent one to me, but I used it differently than suggested. I found a fender brace That I mounted the fender on top of. I used Aeronca's bracket as a tie down through the fender to the brace. The rear end has a mudflap made from an old truck tire liner. I also used the Tiger fender as a template to trace out & cut down the front of the high fender to make it appear more like the original.

Thanks Aeronca. It's wonderfull working with such a fine group of contributors.
