The rear is easy. Just get a longer bolt and spacer for the left side. Maybe a little bending of the stay,and it'll go right around your caliper.


The front is a little trickier. On top of your fork,the cross brace should have a threaded hole. You'll put the fender's top mount there,just with a smaller screw. For the lower mounts,you'll prolly need to use P clamps. If you go with a rigid fork,then you'll just need a longer bolt and spacer for the left side,just like the rear.

Just make sure the fork is 'suspension corrected'.
