Default Fender Problem

Hey fellow trackies, I recently bought an 03 R6 trackbike and the front fender is rubbing with the 209's that are on there. I have some slicks on the way that I'm gonna put on but I know that they will rub even more and there won't be any room for the warmers.

What kinda fender are you guys running to get the clearance required? Will a stock one work? My CBR1000RR stock fender is much higher than the trackskins fender.

Thanks in advance!

Never had an issue with my Sharkskinz fender.

Your fender was made for a 120/60 tire. So if you want to use the stock fender, you will have to modify the mounting holes to it sits higher. Most aftermarket track fenders are designed to work with the 120/70 tire.
