Troubleshooting
Fork guards do not fit correctly.
Double-check that you have selected the correct fork guards for your specific motorcycle make, model, and year. Ensure no other aftermarket components are interfering with the fitment. Minor adjustments may be needed on some models; consult a professional if unsure.
Plastic appears to be cracking during installation.
Ensure you are not overtightening the mounting bolts. Plastic can be brittle if forced. If the guards are too tight, loosen fasteners slightly and ensure alignment before re-tightening gently.
Color does not perfectly match OEM orange.
While Acerbis aims for factory color matching, slight variations can occur due to manufacturing batches and sun fading on existing parts. Contact customer support if the color discrepancy is significant.
