**SOLD Carbon front mudguard for Mille of unknown generation
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2014 4:57 am
UPDATE: SOLD!
Hi all,
I bought a CF front mudguard for the Falco a while back and whilst it looks the business, it doesn't seem to fit properly. When fitted, it was very, very close to the tyre (less than 1/4" clearance) and I was afraid the tyre was rubbing every so slightly on it when riding because there was a slight whiff of burning rubber when I stopped at traffic lights.. (Although there is no sign of any rubbing inside the guard.)
So I carefully filed the mounting holes to try and lift it up a bit, only to have the fork legs start hitting it when the suspension compressed a bit.
As for that funny hole in the right-hand side, it seems to be for a brake line, although the Falco's brake line wasn't at the right angle to clip into it.
So, the damned thing is up for sale - AU$50 + shipping.
