after buying a new front mudguard online ....when it arrived and i fitted it to the bike it had a hell of a curveature to it and is rubbing of the front tyre :o/ iv added spacers ect to try resolve the problem but think i need to bend it somehow from the middle of the screw holes ...........anyone had this problem and how did you resolve it??

thanks in advance .

Hi , ye I had the same problem with genuine front guard for a 315 montesa. I just heated it slightly where the bracket is and bent it up the way . That done the trick.

What did you use to heat it without the plastic going black or bubbling mike?

Hair drier is hot enough to do the job without damaging the plastic unlike a paint stripping gun

The dewalt gun has temperature control.

Hi , I used my plumbing blow lamp on a very small flame , keep moving the direction of the flame though or it will burn. Cheers mike
