Let’s install the fender you brought in.
When I checked it… the lightening holes are reversed! This old guy’s no good~
As I was staring at the fender thinking “that can’t be right…”
I can’t imagine the clamp boss going forward, and the direction of travel would be pointed.
Quick search online
I thought it was for the MK2, but it turned out to be for the Z1000ST. That makes sense.
I’ve seen the fender hit the muffler once in a while, so I’m doing a full stroke check just in case.
It’s fine even if you turn the handlebars all the way.
I’m using slim-head bolts for mounting. Considering that the fender will flex somewhat, I’m using the longest screw depth possible.
The front end was a bit sketchy. I’ve machined the speedometer gear width.
When you do that, the disc center naturally shifts…
There were washers and spacers in there originally. One of each is best.
Different thicknesses are a pain when you take them off.
I’ll stamp “L” on the left one. That way anyone can handle it.
Alright, almost done. Including older bikes, I’m not a fan of forcing the harness into the light case on naked bikes.
I’ll drill a hole so it goes in smoothly without strain. It’s not common, but it also makes light case removal easier.
I’m removing the old-school ugly co-grounded earth and soldering it to the turn signal side. Serviceability is up too.
But here we’ve run into missing grommets and spacers on the brought-in turn signal, so we’re pausing for now~
