R&G fork protectors - fitting problem

[vr46]

Hi,

I have recently tried to fit my R&G fork protectors which were on special offer at £17.50 However one side does not fit, has anyone else had this problem?

The part is clearly labelled for my bike model.

Cheers,

Yeah me and Tanuki have both had this problem. Either you do what Tanuki did and get it milled down professionally, or you go my way and trim it down as neatly/evenly all round as you can with a stanley knife.

Any reasons why one of these wouldn't fit a tri-arm?

Oh forgot to say, when youve trimmed it down a little with the stanly knife, if you offer it up to the spindle and give it a tap with a rubber mallet, it leaves a nice mark to show you whats left to take off.

Thanks all, I'll give it a try.

I did call R&G but they just ignored me and said "we have sold thousands of these mate - no problem with em..."

I even sent them photo's showing the problem - no reply.
