Greetings Gentlemen.
It's 31° F and snowing in MN today, (Five days ago it was 85°!) so I figured it would be a good day to install that new fender. (Got tired of looking at that humpbacked, squared-off, shovel thing.)
When lining up the new fender I can see it needs to be trimmed a little on the right to allow for clearance for the silencer. Upon further inspection the fender seems to need to go further forward towards the airbox in order to attach it to the subframe crossmember. Here lies the clearance problem with the ends of the subframe.Do I need to notch out the fender in order to get it to move further forward?
Sorry to be so Long-winded but I was hoping someone could shed some light on this situation before I start butchering it up.
All replies appreciated.
(Pics esspecially)
TIA
