It's a straight fit onto the SS/IE's but the carby forks have a different lug spacing and position. You could make up a couple of simple bracket to make it fit, I'm sure I saw somewhere on here had done just that...
Won't those white nylon / plastic loops that are some SS forks work? I can't recall which model they are on. My early carbed SS Showas have got the same lug spacing as the carbed SS Marzocchi forks.....
The hoops are for the later forks AL with dedicated recesses in the fork leg. You can align 2 of the holes (so 1 hole per fork) and then make up a shadow plate to attach it properly. (consists of a thin strip of steel/aluminium with 3 holes in it (per side)). Had one fitted to a Monster with same forks.
Maybe he could do summat like this Chris............ a variation I did to mine, because I fitted a 70 profile front tyre and there wasn't enough clearance IMO between tyre crown and mudguard........ The risers bolt to the fork lugs and the mudguard bolts to the higher holes in the risers. The OP could possibly have something similar only with the spacing modified.
one aligned hole worked fine on mine with 120/70/17 tyre.. Is that a 748 guard? - looks like it could be an ST or SSie one?
I don't think so Chris.......all the mounting holes are in the right place for the fork lugs on both sets of forks.......but as the SS mudguard can sag over time, it also needed a tweak (the rear of it drops so the tyre can catch it).....there's a way to deal with it with a hot air gun / blowlamp. The risers I made, simply lift the whole mudguard by 20mm.
probably mis-understanding you AL - I physically fitted a 748 std mudguard to a set of forks common to SS and Monster and all I needed to do was make two thin plates to fit it - the plates were invisible and I ran it for 6 months with no problems until I sold it - I looked for a picture but only have one I took which doesn't show guard very well.
