Ok, I posted on another thread that I had ordered one of these-
REAR SPLASH GUARD FOR YAMAHA MT09
By the way it looks quality, solid but not heavy. 5mm thick Alu arm and 3mm splash guard, it doesnt bend at all.
I put it on the bike, looked good, but.. my lack of knowledge about bikes in general kicked in, and took it back off again (without taking a few pics..sorry) and so I need some advice.
My concern basically is actually how thick it is, 5mm. It fits underneath the adjuster, the adjuster hole diameter fits the spindle, the spindle has a certain diameter, then reduces for the thread to take the nut, now if you follow the adjuster is now 5 more mm along the shaft (tee hee) and now encroaching on the threaded part of the spindle and my worry is that it will either damage the thread..or worse move and upset the rear wheel alignment. The adjuster in its normal position does not have much play as you'd expect because the hole diameter is matched to the spindle but with the addition of the guard I'm just not confident the adjuster is actually seated securely.
The fact I had to take off the R&G adjusters and refit the OEM ones to fit this just adds insult to injury as they aren't compatible.
Anyhoo are there any techies out there want assure me this is ok
