High Fender Kit for the T7 - Install video

NO LONGER AVAILABLE
I will leave this video here though for those fitting the kit or fitting something similar.
...
A high fender kit specifically for the Yamaha Tenere 700 (XTZ690).
This kit is for removing the stock low fender and replacing it with a dirt-oriented fender so that mud and sticks become less of a problem on the trail.
The kit includes:
- Mounting bracket and fasteners
- Braided brake lines by Hel Performance - au.helperformance.com
- 3D printed hose guides and cover plates.
The kit uses many fasteners from the original low fender. Please watch our install video.
The kit comes with carbon-fibre-look brake lines. If you want a different colour, note it in the "notes to seller" box during checkout. You will need to wait until the next batch of 10 are made. Unfortunately I cannot cater for a range of colours.
There is NO fender included. You will need to provide a fender and replacement brake fluid. We suggest the following from MXStore in Australia, but feel free to use any fender, provided you check its fitment.
www.mxstore.com.au/p/Acerbis-...
www.mxstore.com.au/p/Racetech...

Note that supermoto fenders, designed for 17" wheels, are short and tend to flick more crud at you. Full sized fenders do the job properly.
And don't forget brake fluid!

High fender and dual rotors!! Love it

[@roam5984]

Good on you Brendon, I'm not a T7 rider at present but this was an interesting view and it's great to see you branching out with this quality kit for the many T7 riders in our community. Best of luck with it (the high fender looks so much better than stock btw) and safe travels.

[@Ogri202]

I love your style Brendon, you are fearless working on these modern bikes. You and Shadower75 have encouraged me to work on my Husqvarna 701 an now 901. Being a 64 year old Luddite I was scared to muck things up but thanks to you guys; efi, abs, valve adjustments, and electronics isn't that scary anymore.

[@Nerb1]

Good on you Roger.

Another brilliant video/tutorial mate. Loved the bit where you turned "the steering wheel". Please never stop doing these. Cheers

Well sorted fender kit sir. If l had a t7 l would have been ordered one now. The instruction video could not be better 👍🏻 That orange/blue colour scheme look nice (Netherland colou😃) and the blue suits it perfect. Good work mate 🇳🇴☕

Very Nice Kit

[@shaneleach1]

Nice job !!! 💯

[@JustTex]

Excellent stuff sir, i knew you could get it sorted and with all aussie parts too , brilliant. Kinda weird hearing it called a fender instead of a mudguard but I noticed mxstore doesn't call it a mudguard either...we all understand though even when you call your handlebars a steering wheel hahaha. Good install video and a great price for such an upgrade i think. Very slick ,wish i had T7. Congrats and cheers 4 sharing sir.

[@Nerb1]

Bloody steering wheels! I heard that in editing and though... "I hope Tex doesnt notice that"! lol

Very nice kit, a little different approach than the Camel kit. 👍

[@aali2128]

brilliant

Tidy solution mate 👌👌

[@2dogsstottie]

Nice one Brendon. I have the Camel kit on my Tenere 700 now, but I can see the advantages of your configuration of the lines back to the ABSM rather than to the distribution block as with the Camel. I used the Acerbis white MOTO fender on mine as it seemed to match the lines on the bike better. Plus your addition of the new line from the master cylinder down to the ABSM is a nice touch. IMO I think the option of coloured lines could be a good idea as I would have gone the blue option if it was offered in your case. From the Land of OZ.

[@Nerb1]

Thanks. Yeah, there was a few things I didnt like about the camel one, hence coming up with my own.

[@yorkchris10]

On MTB's sometimes LocTite is used to avoid siezure from corrosion. It looks like a moisture trap on top of bottom triple??

[@patrickbeaudry3056]

Realy like your kit , can you show the side off the bike with the yz fender 🤔

[@1paulcave]

Looks a great kit Brendon and just in time for the winter mud here in Vic. Interested in option of the rear brake line as well, will keep an eye on your website.

[@Nerb1]

Ok. I will know tomorrow some time and will update the site.

[@Nerb1]

Hey, Im not going to provide the rear lines at the moment. There is 4 separate hoses to replace and it is a big job for me to pull them all out and measure them. 4 hoses will be in the order of $300+. Maybe if I ever make a profit on the front (im several thousand out of pocket at the moment) I can look at the rear.

[@1paulcave]

@@Nerb1 makes perfect sense - $300 for the rear cant justify that anyway. The rear brake works well enough (with better pads).

Hi bro. How can i order for the mounting kit for high fender for T7

[@federicocolombini423]

Where can I get one of these kit? 😢

[@everythingtenere]

Very nice buddy!!! Why is Australia so damn far away, I really want to get me a high fender kit sometime in the future 🤪

[@Nerb1]

If you email me, im sure we can work out a deal for a fellow youtuber! No freebies though, I couldnt afford it!

[@waynekerr8003]

How long have u been American for Brendon? Do you connect your hose to a faucet to wash the mud off your high fender?

Haha... just some spare photos I had lying around

It is possible to buy your high fender kit ?

[@JimmyCall]

Maybe start etching "NERB products" on the items... ARB started in similar way.

[@cliff1551]

Could you put a braided line in for the back brake mate

[@Nerb1]

I can. I didnt think I needed one as I dont mind a squishy rear pedal on the adventure bike. But I can add it to the kit. Hold off buying one and I'll contact HEL and add it as an option to the kit.

[@madventurosox8677]

Great question Cliff, well you'll have to order another blue one now Nerb for the rear 🤣👍 This new high fender is grouse mate👍👍

[@johnmcmahon8740]

Guess I showed up too late for the party. Really not totally satisfied with the other high fender kits out there, with the Altrider kit being my favorite option at the moment. Any chance you could provide your brake line specs for reference to order some lines from HEL?

[@Nerb1]

I actually have 1 kit left if youre interested? Otherwise, yes, I'll contact HEL and tell them to sell my lines. Up until now they were telling people to bugger off, which I really appreciated. They were very supportive of my endeavor.

[@johnmcmahon8740]

@@Nerb1 How much shipped to the US (85554)? To be honest, I was looking to do my own kit and like different elements of different kits that I would like to put the best bits into. The best part about your kit is that you use somewhat standard brake lines (to you specifications of course). The Altrider kit uses a non-standard line that is expensive to replace and has a SuMo fender that I believe is fairly ineffective in the mud, otherwise I like the kit.

[@blade1535]

Awesome work mate. I think I may have to order a kit. How’s the front brake feel now?

[@Nerb1]

The braided lines are definitely an improvement. New pads help too.

Im using S2 sintered pads from metalgear.

Hi @nerb1, any chance of you doing these again?

[@Nerb1]

No. But email me at vlog on wheels at gmail. I have a kit left.

[@hazcat640]

Though I certainly understand the needed functionality of a high fender I dislike the way they can make the front end 'nervous' at high speeds. Especially for lighter bikes. Wish there was some engineering magic so you could raise the fender a couple of inches and not mess up the fork travel.

[@cliff1551]

Why not use p clips mate better than zip ties 👍on the caliper bracket 👍

[@Nerb1]

Can do. Will upgrade the kit.

[@christianseifert5116]

Hallo Kann leider kein Englich. Komme aus Deutschland und würde es gerne bestellen. Habe da noch einige Fragen. 1.wie schaut es mit Versand aus von Australien nach Deutschland. Worauf muss ich achten und was kostet es mehr? 2. Wie schaut es aus mit deutscher Zulassung bzw ABE? Würde mich über Antwort sehr freuen. Mfg Christian

[@Nerb1]

Shipping to Germany is AU$45. So the total is about 255 euro including post. Unfortunately I do not know what the rules are in Germany. You will need to check yourself.

[@christianseifert5116]

@@Nerb1 ok danke

[@cliff1551]

Why don't you just tap into the abs line on the front of the radiator it's a hard line anyway

[@Nerb1]

Because I have two brake lines going to the double banjo. There is no easy option to connect two lines to the one hardline (a T-peice maybe). Also that would add another connection. I think the less connections the better.
