Before getting burned in hell!... Yes, I did use search. Yes, I know it's been posted before.. But damn.. I cant find it.. Who's got the best black CF front fender for the RC???? Those cheesy mounting eye's have broken off on one side, what was Honda thinking making these mounting points so weak?

Thanks Guy's..

IMO - the QB vented fender ROCKS!!

My QB has been on my bike for 10,000+ miles and it looks as good as it did from day one.

Heres a tip in regards to mounting Front Fenders, especially Carbon Fenders..It is very important that the mounting points are not solid mounted,that is the stepped shank on the mounting bolt takes up on the bracket and still allows movement of the fender mounting eyes, rubber or fiber washers on both sides are a good idea aswell. If solid mounted or pinced under the shank the eyes will break as the forks twist and flex....Oh yer, by the way..I make Carbon and Kevlar Fenders.

Fred Renz of Yoyodyne is a stand up guy and is great to do business with. I believe all of his cf stuff is Sibimoto (sp?) which is top shelf stuff.
