WANTED: 2005 RSV-R Showa radial fork - Front Mudguard

Seems the older RSV guard wont fit...

Carbon preferred but black is still good!

Why do you think it won't fit?

I've a later RSVR carbon front mudguard on my falco and the falco forks/wheel set up is basically the same as the early Mille.
OK so I've got an Ohlins setup but from a mudguard mounting perspective that's no different to the Marzocchi or Showa setup

The Showa radial mudguard mounting points are different to the normal caliper Ohlins forks I have.

The rear mounting points are a few mm lower so the earlier mudguard points at a daft angle to the sky.

I've seen an answer on AF1 already, make two little riser plates that hide on the inner (wheel) side of the mudguard to raise the rear :smt002

Job done.
