Fairing brackets... Measurement needed

Hi all...

Could someone kindly measure their brackets for me please... The two that bolt onto the frame above the engine... They hold the top fairing in place...

Mine are pretty mangled and I need to get some more made up... From what I can work out, they're 75mm from tip to tip...

But, after comfirmation before I start fabricating something...

Also, it seems I need to make 4 spacers (8 mm thick) to keep the front mudguard off the front tyre... Is this normal or do I have a weird mudguard???

Cheers in advance \:D/

Just measured mine and they are 80mm. They are are brand new pair from Z power so they were still available about 4 months ago. Hope thats some help.

What size front tyre are you using? Just wondered if you've got an oversize front on? Don't remember having any spacers on mine pre usd front.

Never use the site, can never find anyhing on there :oops:

Give 'em a bell, think they were about a tenner each ( not 100%) don't forget you can get a discount, think you need a code of Alimorg.

I think it varies on the front mudguard, Ive had one that needed spacers to clean the front wheel and one that didn't both of these were pre USD front end on my bike.

Just looked at front tyre... 110 / 70

So i'm guessing this isnt a standard tyre, therefore the need for spacers... Now the question is...

Do I stick with 110/70 or go with the original size?? Anybody offer advice on what how this decision would effect the handling?

Thanks all
