I have run into several problems while trying to install the front mudguard on my 1996 Adventurer. First, I need to know which end of the mudguard faces towards the front of the motorcycle? There is a lip on one end (where the tip of the mud guard is folded over), but the other end of the mudguard has no lip.
Second, I am fairly certain that the mud guard attachment bolts are not the ones that originally came with the motorcycle. Even when screwed all the way in, the heads of the bolts rub lightly against the sidewalls of the tire. What do the correct bolts look like? Got a pic?
Third, the mud guard has little clearance above the top of the front tire which is about half way worn down. I am thinking that a new tire would rub against the underside of the mud guard. Is this normal?
In any case, replacing the front mud guard is a pain seeing as how the entire front wheel and brake assembly has to be removed to do it.
