Default gixxer front end, TLS mudguard

Putting a TLS mudguard on SRAD600 forks.

Does anyone know what the TL mudguard is like for protecting the front cylinder?

Should I find a way to fit a fender extender?

Will it fit?

TLS has USD forks and 600 SRAD are RWU. I wouldn't have thought they'd go together easily.

Think the SRAD 600 and 750 mudguards are the same, and the TLS forks are similar to the SRAD750 ones if not the same.

Give us a minute I'll make sure.

Any idea about whether it'll wet the front plug though?

It protects as well as the SV one lol.

One thing to bear min mind is with the forks being shorter(on the USD atleast) you'll mightrun into clearance problems between mudguard( with an extender) and radiator. Even the standard mudguard and no extender can touch IIRC

Best thing to do is to lift bike, undo caps and drop down slow till forks bottom out to check above.

If you reckon , an extender will work, let us know as I've got a couple of extenders from err God knows what bikes which I'm sure, you with your mad skillz can make work.
Yours for the postage. One of them has Ho*da written on it though

Had no clearance issues with my 750 SRAD forks, and they are dropped through the yokes too. Best to get a fender extender, the TL ain't any better than the SV one.

Big blast from the past here.

No it doesn't protect the plug, you need a fender extender. Or alternatively 2 bits of troughing, a heat gun and some gaffer tape.
