Is there anyone out there that makes and sells the front fender bracket,the one that mounts to the lower triple tree. They look sooooooo much nicer with the fender raised up. Thanks

One of the members here has a post step by step how he made his bracket with some pictures. I made it the same way as he did. If you want to make it by yourself it's doable. I used Jigsaw to cut it, drill and orbital sander to smoothen the edge.
Here's my bike now with Cycra supermoto fender 
Here's how the aluminium bracket looks from the front:

The bracket is aluminium 11-1/2" x 2" x 2" I you decide not to make it let me know I have 3 in my garage.

No mods needed to mount the bracket on the lower triple clamp and you still can use the stock bolts. However you'll need to drill 2 new holes on the fender due to the 2" space available. But you'll never see the fender wobble it's really sturdy...

Just put 1 extra washer for every bolt...

The nuts under the triple clamp...

Underneath the front fender: Use the flattest bolts/screws as possible in case the bike bottoms out...never happens to me ![Stick out tongue [:P]](http://tw200forum.com/emoticons/emotion-4.gif) The ones I use here are the philip screws from the stock fender bracket.

This mod is really simple and I love the new look of the bike... ...Just need some muscles and patience to cut and sand the aluminum tho'
