V11 carbon fiber front fender

[Steve S]

We seem to have the same affliction I bought a 1700 vmax when they came out in 09 and bought a new v85 2 years ago but didn’t get on with it, did one European trip on it and found it top heavy, being 68 and 5’8 didn’t help , loved the vmax but not the 80 miles tank range

I’ve also got a 1700 VMax that I’ve had for the past 7 years. Love it, but as you say the 80 mile tank range is annoying

80 miles ? That fuel tank must be 1 gallon .

The fuel tank is 4 US gallons, (15 litres). If you use the performance of the 1.7 litre V4 quad cam 200 bhp motor, the low fuel warning light will illuminate after about 80 miles. I think 25 mpg is real world consumption for the VMax 1700. Not a bike for touring

I don't know for sure, but I have the impression that the front mudguard had the same form for all models, regardless of which forks were used. Have a look at these parts diagrams and the part numbers (the first four digits are all the same) and decide for yourself.

What I'm getting at, if you should find a hen's tooth CF V11 Mudguard, it seems to be a fair risk to buy it and see if it will fit. Given that they are so rare, you should be able to off-load it again, if it doesn't fit, sooner or later.

 

As an aside, I believe @Lucky Phil has a carbon fibre mudguard on his hybrid monster greenie with the V10 motor. Maybe he will chime in and tell us where he got it?

 

The carbon guards for the Ohlins forks are different mounting to the Marzocchi forks. The carbon Marzocchi front guards fit all the variations from 40-43mm dia.
