Front Mudguard
After a recent unplanned offroad trip into some bushes, my XTX needed a new front mudguard. The Genuine Yamaha one was over NZ$300, so I took a trip to the local bike dealer, and got a CR250 one in white for $50. I had to redrill 2 of the four mountings, and chopped the rear down to clear headers.

I like the guard although I'd probably chop the back right to the forks like the Yam as it has the lower guard as well. I think it will look good when tango'd.

I am thinking about chopping it flush back, but the 2 side locating screws wont fit, and i dont want to lose any rigidity in the front of the guard.
As for the trip into the bushes, had a rear wheel puncture going through some twisties, didn't realise until I leant it over for a right hander and the back started to slide. Choices were Hard black stuff or green stuff. Green was better. |

That's what we like to see, ingenuity.
Especially when it saves you $250. The end result looks mighty fine to me. I'm on the lookout for a bigger front mudguard for my R as every time I'm off road everything gets splattered as in my opinion the standard one isn't big enough. I might look into doing this on mine. but without cutting it down.

I am sure I read somewhere else on here that someone had fitted a different guard to help with mud protection |

NZ$300 seems a crazy price, I got a new genuine Yamaha front mudguard for my XTR for 35 euro = 68 NZ$
