Front Fender Replacement Pictorial

Hi,

I replace my front fender yesterday and took pictures so I thought I would do a "Pictorial" on how I did it. This is very easy to do and there is no reason to pay the shop to do this for you. If you read this over it should only take about 20 mins to do this. Hope this helps.

Can I find this pictorial on .org too?

I just posted there under my fake name "John Gordon" . Hope he doesn't figure it out.

I hope you are being sarcastic.

Hey Jeff,

Great pictorial on the fender replacement. Just one note, that big Saddel looking bracket under the fender is only used on 2007 up. So, If you other members remove your fender and you do not have one don't be suprised.

Just one of those things Honda added in 2002 ABS models on up and used on 2007, every model on up.

Dennis,

I guess that is why I waited until the 2007 model. There is no way you would catch me on a SWing without this bracket. Thanks for the info.

JeffR,

This was a very good pictorial / tutorial. I have one correction, though. You make reference to a #9 hex wrench in a couple of places (under Picture #1 and in the "tools needed". In actuality, it is a 6 mm allen (hex) wrench.

Jon,

I just read your correction since I was looking for something. Thanks for the correction and sorry it took so long to acknowledge it.

S'OK.

I've just removed the mudguard (fender) on my 2011 SWing. The fork brace/ bridge came out with the plastic. I'm guessing that the black strip is adhesive to help factory assembly by keeping the pieces together ?

More than likely. I've found no other rational reason for it.
