#1020344 YZ18 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1150 Rear fender question 6 Months, 1 Week ago   So I know that if I had the time, $ and tools it could be done. I know that there's also overlays that could be put on also. I was wondering if anyone has widened a stock fender a few inches to accept a little wider rear tire?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020351 Orthogonal (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1624 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months, 1 Week ago   YZ18 wrote: So I know that if I had the time, $ and tools it could be done. I know that there's also overlays that could be put on also. I was wondering if anyone has widened a stock fender a few inches to accept a little wider rear tire? I widened mine with a small bottle jack. I also ground the inner fender struts down flush (on the bottom at least) so there isn't a ridge. If you are careful and make sure the jack only presses on the subframe it will widen without bending or crinkling the fender. I was able to get a 200mm tire in there after all that. follow-up comment: I did all that while fender was on the bike. Since then I realized how easy it is to remove the entire fender and subframe intact..so to do again I would remove it and then do the same bottle jack and grind.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/08/21 20:34 By Orthogonal.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020361 ctkog (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 523 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months, 1 Week ago   Thanks for sharing that Ortho I had been also wondering the same thing. Then there's what to do with the passenger backrest after widening the fender.   Logged     ---------- NOTHING STRAIGHTENS MY HEAD OUT BETTER THAN AN ENTIRELY CROOKED ROAD-----------   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020368 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months ago   http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/id,635993/catid,60/limit,10/limitstart,0/   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020371 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months ago   roadiemort wrote: http://roadstarclinic.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,187/func,view/id,635993/catid,60/limit,10/limitstart,0/ Damn photobucket Dchopper widened his about 3" with a mig welder and other basic tools.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020380 ctkog (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 523 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months ago   Thanks sure wish I could see some of those pics.   Logged     ---------- NOTHING STRAIGHTENS MY HEAD OUT BETTER THAN AN ENTIRELY CROOKED ROAD-----------   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020382 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months ago   Ctkog wrote: Thanks sure wish I could see some of those pics.

How difficult is it and does it have more room for at least a 180 tire?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1020406 roadiemort (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 7904 Re:Rear fender question 6 Months ago   Ctkog wrote: Thanks sure wish I could see some of those pics.http://s1163.photobucket.com/user/dchopper73/library/RAIDER%20rear%20wheel%20swap?sort=3&page=1   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022092 YZ18 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1150 Re:Rear fender question 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Does anyone know how much of the rear fender gets cut to put a stretched one on?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
