ABSTRACT:
A motorcycle including a frame, a front fork assembly connected to the frame, a front wheel including a front axle secured to the front fork assembly, and a fender assembly. The fender assembly includes a fender positioned over the front wheel, and a fender strap interconnecting the fender with the front axle such that vertical movement of the front axle results in substantially the same vertical movement of the fender. A brake caliper is connected to the front axle, and a fender bracket interconnects the fender with the brake caliper. A fender bushing is rotatably mounted on the front axle, and the fender strap is connected to the fender bushing. The bushing includes a threaded portion that extends through an opening in the fender strap. The bushing also includes a threaded collar threaded onto the threaded portion to secure the fender strap to the fender bushing. A threaded end cap is threaded onto the threaded portion to cover the front axle, and a resilient gasket is positioned between the end cap and the collar to provide a seal and prevent loosening of the end cap.
