I have no idea if anyone makes an aftermarket replacement, but I reckon the place to look/ask is here http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?act=idx There ain't too much you can't find out about the V11 bikes on that forum (but don't forget us here). |

Tryg, Have you ever considered making your own guard. If you have any skill with a mig welder it isn't all that difficult, or conversely you can 'mould' it out of chicken wire & 'glass the whole lot. It isn't all that expensive to have a crack & you'd be surprised at the results that someone with even very little skill can achieve. |

Wal, cheers, but my aim is to find either a cheaper-than-currently-available original fender in carbon fibre or one that may fit directly or with little adapting in carbon fibre.... keep the ideas coming! Thanks |

The fact remains, that overseas sellers are not producing these items/having them reproduced and Australian sellers are both woefully inadequate and rediculously priced.... The John Sample Group does not assist this situation, get with it JSG..... I would happily bolt on another marque's gear, but nobody knows another bike that uses our exact Marz forks, on any forum.... Not surprisingly, the Ohlins were used on many bikes, and therefore you can easily use Ducati, Aprilia, Benelli and some Bimota gear.... Even a few Yamaha ones fit quite closely... but due to the fitting points on the Marz significant alteration is required.... So if anyone knows of a ready-made or available product, chime in... |

Carbon fenders are available from MPH Cycles in the USA. At the moment they have a used one listed on their site, apparently in VGC. New ones also listed. Might be worth an email. Pity about the  exchange rate. http://www.mphcycles.com/Accessories_New/V11/V11LeMansAccessories.htm |

Mark, thanks, I have already spoken to MPH about a year ago.. if it is the only choice I will, but they are not very competitive with their freight, would cost me more than the carbon fibre fender itself.... I am not interested in paying $600 for the fender. I guess I am chasing anyones idea of another marques' fender that can be adapted; i.e. a Yamaha 'whatever' or a Suzuki 'anything' etc... I do appreciate all the avenues listed though. Cheers |

If you do decide to go with MPH I can vouch for them being reputable. I ordered a V11 bar riser kit from them for the Tenni and got it today, ten days after the order was placed. Good stuff it looks to be too. I'm afraid I'm too tall (and maybe too old) for the Tenni, but I hope this mod will improve my comfort a little. |
