2 cents worth from the "been there, goofed" file:
- make that fender quick and easy to remove from the mounts that (should) stay on the forks to maintain position alignment. When you are headed to impound after a sloppy salt turn out, you will be glad you thought this out. Cleanng out that fender adds to your workload in impound, so make it simple.
- dont use stainless bolts threaded into aluminum parts. They seem to lock solid in salt. What started as a nice 6mm threaded hole on my FZR forks has eventually become an 8mm pass through for a bolt and nut. Throwing away nuts and bolts is much better than throwing away fork lowers....that was a close call!
- anything mounted on the forks must be removed after the event and NOT left on over the year (this includes the axle) until you are certain it is cleaned and lubed well enough. It is much nicer to find individual parts corroding in a box, than to find them mated to something expensive ......if you see what I mean.
