Advice on front mudguard and mirrors

[Hughietheharp]

Hello folks
Does anyone know if the front mudguard from any other bikes fit my TRX without modification to the standard fittings? I've managed to damage my mudguard on a red TRX and finding it difficult to track down a replacement so just wondering if the TRX shares its front end with anything else that I can also do a search on. Or if you have a red TRX mudguard going spare then please let me now!
And, now that I've fitted some streefighter bars I find I am constantly looking at my elbows in the mirrors. Has anyone fitted any mirrors that are longer than standard? Again, as for the mudguard question above, I want to make use of the standard 2 hole fitting on the faiiring and sub frame; all I want is for mirrors to be about 10cm wider on each side.
Any advice is gratefully received.
Regards
Hugh

Hello Hugh. I see you are located very near to me (Redditch). I have asked both these questions before so to save you searching I will post links to both threads coz I'm good like that.

Might be something of use to you in that lot ?

Well I do not know if it will fit straight, but I was planning to fit a front guard from a 748 to mine. I even purchased the original Ducati guard mounting brakets (requiring only minor modification - grinding down the locator you see on them in the pictures).

I was hoping it would fit and I do not see why it shouldn't, but then again it has not been placed on a completed front-end....YET!

Let me know how you get on with the Ducati mudguard Schmiffee. I won a 748 front a few months back & was planning on doing the same thing but the seller messed me about so I haven't bothered looking for another. Be interested to see how easy/hard it is to fit.

You could get some mirror extenders knocked up by a local machine shop, just use the the base of the mirror as a template and ask for a couple of ally blocks to be made up to the thickness you want. Failing that, do it on the cheap and just use a stack of washers and longer bolts.

edit- you could probably make some spacers yourself out of 1/4" ally plate.
