Subject: MX Style Mudguard - "Bridge"
Hi Joerg, Marc and all others,
I am searching for a long time for a solution for a cross mudgard for my @,
upon know I found no good solution, I think yours should be ok.
What have you done with the "Bridge" (Gabelbruecke) that is mounted
directly between the origin mudguard and the tyre?
I have been at Louis a few weeks ago, they told me that it would be
possible to put this part awy, but if so the bike would be horrible to ride
=> less comfort.
Any expieriences ?
kind regards

P.S: Yesterday I rode again on off road ways with T66, after 25m the front
wheel blocked because of a lot of dirt - damned - I had to "carry" the bike
back to the street.

Hi all!
Stephan Gries did something like that. A list of the modifications can be
found at http://www.planet-interkom.de/stephan.gries/mein_motorrad.htm
although it's only in german. Maybe you can write him directly.

I have done it on a RD04, The RD07s front is not sigificantly
different from the older one.

Quick summary: you'll need something to get some distance
between the lower triple clamp an the fender. I used two
aluminium cylinders of 30mm diameter and 50mm length (where
30mm would've been enough), with a hole to let the screw
through (M6, I think).
You'll have to make a hole in the Mudguard to let the tacho
drive shaft through, but the pix will give you more details
than my words can.
Don't worry about obly 2 screws holding that thing, I'v been
through the green-brown Mud-Hell of Senftenberg with that thing,
and i've been down more than once with it. It'll take it :-)
