Title: Average distance wheel/fender?
Post by: kevdog3019 on February 06, 2015, 08:10:37 PM

Fabricating a front fender mount.  Need an average distance wheel to fender.  Anyone have any ideas?  Want a hugger, but safe distance.
Thanks!

Give it as much distance as you need to get the wheel out and avoid ripping the tire on a trapped rock.  Otherwise, the fender and the wheel both have an arc.  There's a point of distance where the two arcs appear complimentary to your eye.  That part is a ymmv thing.


Something that always looks 'funny' to me is a fender arc that suggests the wheel should have been taller or shorter.  (or wheel arc that suggests the fender was for a taller/sorter wheel).

Figuring Guzzi knows what they're doing,  ;D I measured the stock Lario at 22mm. Rosie's carbon fender is 20.
