I am currently rebuilding my 2003 superchicken and cannot figure out a few parts that are driving me nuts. I cannot figure out how the front fender goes on for one. I told the dealer to order me the brackets and he did, but still clueless.( he ordereed me the reflector brackets (who cares about those) He ordered me two aluminum fairing stays that look like a long "Z" that I cannot figure out what to do with them and really need some pictures of where bolts go to bolt on all the fairings and front cowl, headlight, etc...

 

give me a minute to upload the pics.
the fender bolts directly to the tabs on the forks.


the longer z bracket is the upper fairing bracket. here is where it mounts to the frame ( right side photo )

zi think that my forks got swapped then because I only have one mounting hole and it will not line up at all with the fender holes. I will upload pictures if I can figure out how to

see attachments, and what are the two brackets for and where do they go?

 

look here:

item #13 , screw #32 the one NOT by the superhawk sticker. i'd shoot a pic but mines removed as i have LSL frame sliders that replace that bracket.

forks ? don't know what they are but you have to figure it out & by the fender for those forks.

the parts fiche is worthless to show where stuff goes, even the dealer cannot help me because they never see superhawks in the shop. Does anyone have some suggestions and or help?

 

Those don't look like my Superhawk forks. Mine have two mounting tabs on each fork on the front. Your only has one. Is there a mounting tab up higher on the back? Usually Honda forks have two on the front, or one front (low) and one back (higher up).

Like trinc said, you'll have to figure what forks you have and get that fender most likely.

 

they look just like f4i forks, maybe that is why the turn signal hits the tank when the bars are turned all the way.

the forks are a good thing - shim the stops & get a fender but now you should have rebound and compression damping adjustment.

Yeah I see the compression adjuster, you've got F4i forks which are a nice upgrade. I believe they did make a yeller color one year so hopefully it's the same as the VTR yeller.

 

I am not too worried about the color, I custom painted my bike corvette yellow with a blue pearl. Any idea where to get a cheap f41 fender?

still trying to figure out what the stays are for, the ones that trinc points out are already on the bike and are steel.
