Swapping standard front fender for fiberglass

[1olbull]

This is something that I want.
That is a custom smaller front guard but to match the 140 front tyre.
I did get a David Gill one, that was fine but it didn't look right with the smaller front tyre.
Any recommendations ?
Not that keen on the style of on the Suzuki one Phil.

Just needs another 6" or so at the rear, I reckon.
I sure like my Gill Giant Fly!

Would that I could use that 130/70 with ABS... alas I’ll sit here and wish.

Simple, Rob.
Find a rear tire with a circumference not greater than 6-8% more than that of the 130.

What side Paul, ...........please don't say the side with the scratched up exhaust. With you been an exhaust guru I would almost be embarrassed

I have removed some of the shiny bling, classic with industrial lol.

Robert, I wouldn't recommend that tire for your set up even if your bike was not ABS equipped. I ran it with my 200 RWHP/175 ft/lb RWTQ mistress and the tire is, IMHO, too light/skittish with that level of instant power and throttle response.

The Michelin Commander II 140/75 17 V-rated radial should handle the job quite nicely for your Beast and it will substantially mitigate against your fighting to keep the front end better planted vs the 130.

That front fender is deffo a better looking match, style-wise, to the rear tin than the OEM piece, IMO. Are you planning to color-match it at some point, Scorp?

No No No the other side ! just kidding
That's what I wanted to see was how that front guard looked over all.

Maybe one day will get it to a closer colour match, I was lucky as the one they had in the Suzuki shop was this custom colour which was returned as it had a slight scratch. At $60 I wasn't worried. Others were black.

Not a recommendation but another option, They have lots of other bits too including a lower engine cowl/fairing not sure it is my taste though:
