Title: Front Fender Guard .. Seen a few in pics .. Need recommendation
Post by: jamman on May 31, 2011, 10:51:01 AM
I've seen a few of these in pictures and would like to add one to my 800 .. 

So this begs the question .. where can this part be located and does it need a mod to mount it ??

Thanks in advance

Well as far as I know there is one "potential" candidate...

There is a French company that says they sell them...

http://www.mo-tique.com/shop/Default.asp?1=1&lang=en (http://www.mo-tique.com/shop/Default.asp?1=1&lang=en)

These are actually Ledrie products and should be available from several sources... P/N TAB0-1004 ... if its still available at all. (These fit all Drifters). They don't appear in Ledrie's most recent catalog however. So you can look and perhaps find one in stock someplace.

We have signed up with the NA Distributor as a dealer. When we get the details I may have additional information on this, and a couple of other items for the Drifter.

I have been looking for the Ledrie one, contacted Ledrie USA, part is no longer available. Have to find one someone got "stuck" with one ::) So far I have had no luck with that, have tried order 2 from overseas, even though it is listed on their site, always has come back as discontinued. Have not tried mo-tique yet

That's what I posted... but simply because they list them doesn't mean they are available as we all know! Those are the Ledrie products...

Here is one for the Indian and will likely fit the Drifter but holes need to be drilled ...

Yeah, I think the Starklite looks a lot better on the Drifter than the Ledrie one... except its chrome and you have to drill the fender!!
