Title: Fitted a 93 SUZUKI BANDIT GSF400 front fender
Post by: winddancer on April 21, 2014, 11:02:24 AM
So after seeing the other Bandit fenders being done and liking the look I bought an 93.The mounting bracket is different due to the curve of the fender and I had to have it modified by cutting off the tabs and had wider ones welded on. Fitting it to the forks was not bad as you see I had to space it up some due to how close it was to the wheel. I had to chose whether to cut some of the side tabs on the finder down or drill new mounting holes i chose to drill new holes. Let me know what you think.

Looks good. Nice to get rid of that poorly desigsned FJ front fender.  Are you going to but a fork brace on?  Like the white color also.

I agree with Cannon from yesterdays post on a different thread. But ya might have to fill in 4 holes when you reversed it instead of two at present).  It will be interesting to see if it cracks without a fork brace. I too like the colour.

I will be putting on the fork brace but i will be repainting the bike by the end of this year so the white will go.
