Question High mount fender Nc750x

[The6thmartin]

So....
I wanted a high mount fender on my Nc750x. Nobody makes one so I watched a bunch of videos of ones for the Africa twin and cb500x.
I’m working on a prototype and am almost finished. I’m planning on making some technical drawings tomorrow and get a quote from a machine shop soon. Anyone else interested in this? I’ll post pictures soon.

Looks like it will block air to the radiator?

The fender has a large channel up top to feed air and fins on the back that let air flow but attempt to stop debris from the tire. I’ll take some pictures with better light.

Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the effort. Looks like a Suzuki DR-Big.

Good job. Looks like the fender belongs there in sort of a Motard fashion.

It occurred to me that adventure bikes have close fit front fenders, but dual sport bikes have high mounts. I guess dual sports go off pavement more than adventure bikes.

I think if it's a purely cosmetic choice I'm all for it make the bike look how you want it.

Functionally it will result in more water/debris hitting the radiator when on the pavement. If you're planning on taking it off-road I hope you add a radiator guard and full skid guard especially with a high fender the NC will need it.

Yea I plan on adding a skid plate, radiator guard and some side protection. the factory fender throws all kinds of stuff directly at the radiator so I don’t mind not having it. We shall see how well this fender does.

I think you did a great job with it. Hope it exceeds your expectations.

Hi intersting aplication. Can you show me / tell me how you mounted it?

 

[Rapturee]

good job, waiting with anticipation to see final product! :{P

What did you do about the brake line?

 

[The6thmartin]

the brake line was able to be run along the front of the fork and still be long enough.

for those interested i am now also working on a cb500x front wheel swap!!

I’m curious about this front fender? What ever came of this? I’m interested - not keen on the factory unit.

I'm also curious about this....

Never went through the effort of getting the parts quoted but I have a machinist friend now. I could do it if people are interested. Alternatively I could post how I did it.

over 10k miles with this fender with no issues at all, in fact I think it blocks more crap from hitting the radiator than the stock. This bike also now has a cb500x wheel and fork lowers on.
