Cannondaleriders

for the guy that have 250r kits how does the front plastic mount up? did you make you own mounting bracket? pics would be nice!

I used my front fender wire mounts to make some custom ones. My R fenders are shaved so I just bent the wire mounts and cut them to fit so that I could put screws through the side of the hood. Works great and quick to remove. Only two bolts and the front's off. I use a zip-tie to hold the back part of the front fenders from spreading apart over the tank. (Yes, a heavy duty zip tie!)

I've got pics somewhere or will get new ones. I've seen like 4 different ways now though so somebody else is bound to comment.

Plese post some pics. I am going to be putting mine on this weekend.

You can find the photos here!!

Take out the space between the cannondale and central.. seems like it is censored!!!

There are so many ways to do this, that there is no right or wrong way to mount them. I have seen at least 10 250R dales, and 8 of them were mounted differently.

I used the factory fender brackets, with 1" spacers and they mounted perfrectly to the flat spot on the front fenders.

I believe he got a bunch of brackets from walsh when he bought the jigs.

I don't want to use bolts, I just want to slide it into place and use the strap like the stock 250r!

I am thinking of doing this... possibly heating and bending them so I do not have to use spacers.

Are you familiar with Farrars conversion? I would like to know what the old fender bracket tab is mounted to under the gas tank.

My mounting would be the pics of the red plastic Dale. I changed where I locate the rear zip tie now for the fronts but you get the idea. I've bent and lowered the front wires though also, but you get the idea.

if you look up in the front jester you can see the bracket i made wherethe ecutray used to be.you could easily make a bracket like this to go under the tray.just another option for ya.best pic i can find
