【A-TECH】Front Fender STD Review
It is a very light Fender.
First of all, it should be noted that the Front Fender of the Z900RS is difficult to replace unless the Wheel is removed.
If you plan to do the work yourself, we recommend that you prepare to remove the front wheel by removing the front stand or other means.
As far as I know, this product and Moto Corse's Front Fender are the only ones that are integrally molded.
The one-piece molded Fender has large parts, but it is made of dry carbon, and although there are individual differences in the HandLayer, the single body weight is only 168 Grams.
However, the Gold Bracket of the Brake hose is surprisingly heavy and the Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) In total, the Fender was 212 Grams.
Fender in NORMAL is 338 Grams including Bracket, resulting in a difference of 126 Grams.
In my case, when combined with GALE SPEED TypeE, the effect of weight reduction under Spring was 880 Grams for Wheel and 126 Grams for Fender, which is just about 1 kg Gram.
I don't know if it is possible to compare the effect on public roads with certainty at my sensitivity Level, but if I follow the textbook, it would mean that Large strange effect should be obtained.
Finally, the Bracket of the Brake hose is supposed to be reused by destroying the Rivet, but even if you buy a new Bracket, it is only a few hundred yen for new Parts. it is recommended to use a new Bracket to avoid Wound, injury, and other unnecessary Risk and Stress.
