Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Puig Rear Fender is a direct-fit process, but it requires standard metric tools. Ensure the motorcycle is on a paddock stand before starting. You will need to remove existing bolts from the rear swingarm area to align the fender’s mounting points. Once fitted, check for tire clearance to ensure there is no rubbing under full suspension compression. To maintain the matte black finish, clean the fender using only mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical degreasers or abrasive sponges, as these can leave permanent marks or scuff the matte surface.
