New front mudguard?
Permalink  
 


Just got myself a jackup kit for my DT

BTW this guy sells the best ones ive ever seen, really thick steel. very fast post too.

Im wondering if their is anything i can do to make the front look any higher when i sit on it? The weight seems to more to the front now since the back end is alot higher. Would getting a new front mudguard be any good? Or any way i could stiffening up the forks?

Yz mudguard would look great, or a SM mudguard would give the effect of higher front end as it doesnt dip so much smile

What about this mudguard?

Seems the same as a YZ guard.

 This guy is from portugal lol. Seems to have some nice rear guards aswell.

I heard about sticking spacers inside the forks or something that helps the ride

out a bit.

Anyone know what size spacers to stick in the forks or how many? Or is anyone selling premade kits?

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR HEAD????!!! WHY DOES NOBODY POINT OUT YOUR HEAD IS FUCKED!!! IS THIS REALLY JUST A FAG I'M SMOKING ??!!

I'd go for a SM front, will give it the appearance of looking higher , but isnt. then trim the fender down further if you get the Acerbis SM one.

HAHA yeah taught the smiley head was better looking then me old ugly mug. Got the new ufo mudguard today looks super. Was a bit worried about the colour as it looked purple and not blue when i opened the parcel. But when it was put on you can hardly notice the slight colour difference. Also in installed the spacers in the forks, used about 7 spacers in each fork, it took the sag out without making it rattle your bones. Just waiting now for new front and back sprockets and a new chain. Still needs a bit of body work.

Yeah some lads over here in Ireland changed their back plate from white to yellow. Im not sure if its legal or not, never heard anyone getting fines or nothing. Trying to find out if the mini number plates in Ireland are legal, i know in the uk the mini plates are illegal and the police fine you £30.00 and take a picture and post if of to the DVLA for a nice warning letter to come in your door.
A tail tidy kit and a mini plate would look great on the DT.
