I removed the reflectors on the front wheel on my 07 600RR, and when I put the screws back in the fender, the rubber grommet gets squished from around the screw. I'm wondering if we need to keep the reflector bracket in there to provide the proper spacing for the front fender?

y not just use a washer or something?

 

I dunno, I thought the rubber is supposed to be there. I was just curious what others have done, if anything.

 

cut the reflector off of the bracket and then put the bracket back where it was thats what i did and all turned out well. i cant remember if i flipped the brackets around so the cut part would not be visible but give it a try i think you will like it.

 

Yeah, I think that is what I'm going to do. Thanks for your post!

+1 ^^^^ take reflector off....and put it in a vise and hacksaw (or dremmel)it off so it NOT exposed around your fender...then reinstall using new custom mod.....

 

I just bent mine repeatably until it broke the so the rest of the bracket wasnt there.

 

I finished it tonight! I held it with vice grips and then hacksawed with other hand. I honestly dont know of a harder way to do it, but I did it that way anyway LOL. Much better fit. Thanks!

 

i was wondering about that i had the same problem,, thanxs for the info..
