I think it has been discussed before but what are the front fender options for a h1/h2 with an 18" front wheel. I was going to use a fiberglass front fender but I am thinking that I may end up using a chrome one.

I think the 250/350 triples have 18" front, if you want a stock look.

Wouldn't the 500 bracket place the fender too high?

Slot the holes that mount to the fork so it can sit down lower. :mrgreen:

I swapped my 400 fender for a S2 and just drilled new holes then hacked off the bit below I didn't need. (My typical approach) :lol:
I just wondered if Cody's idea required any mods?

the only mods are

Set the S3/400 fender on the H1 bracket, drill four new holes in the bracket (since the S-series holes are on top instead of on the sides) and......... yes, you have to either slot or move the fork mounting holes so the fender sits lower. I re-drilled new holes

LTD-fenders fit right on.

I used Eliminator fender, but some mods to forks are required.

Yes, I forgot to mention the new top holes, but actually Robert is my Father's brother. My Mother's brother is Gordon... :roll:
