T7 Fork Guard Protector Install

There are so many things to love about the 700 Tenere but Yamaha's choice of body plastic material is not one of them! For reasons unknown, Yamaha opted to make the T7's body panels from brittle ABS plastic instead of the far more durable polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) materials commonly used in more dirt-oriented motorcycles.
The T7s fork guards are easily damaged when riding offroad. They are about $30-$40 each to replace (if they aren't back-ordered). The most common failure is breaking the lower mounting tab off which requires the replacement of the entire fork guard. Well, I should say that it used to require replacing the fork guard.
After breaking countless guards during our offroad adventures, we created a protector/repair bracket that can help keep the damage from happening in the first place but can also repair a guard that already has a tab broken off!

Preheating the VHB will help with adhesion also.

Good job. I have a pair to install myself. Thanks.

Nice!

Temperature is a big reason why they won't stick, if it's too cold you have no chance of it staying on, anything below room temperature forget it.

How about developing disc guards for the tenere 700..

[@marcmane2051]

Hi Cory, why not using axle sliders to protect both the bolt that is sticking out (and usually gets sheared off) and the fork guard?

[@CamelADV]

For a street-ridden bike, that might be a good option. In the dirt, I want as few things as possible to snag on things. YMMV

Protection may be working if it separates??

[@CamelADV]

They should stay bonded to be effective.
