Anyone know where I can purchase a front fender support bracket?
Acerbis use to make one out of aluminum, but it is no longer available

Thanks

What is the need for the support ? , if its for a fender bag , the bag should be up by the number plate

I'm 99% sure Acerbis no longer makes these. I havn't seen them in the 2014 catalogue.

I also question why you want it anyways. Your fender is already pretty sturdy.

I would like the option to mount a fender bag for spare tubes

Lots of guys here run with fender bags , and no one has needed a brace that i know of , , if you dont like the fender bouncing , then mount it closer to the headlight

If the bag is in the way of your headlight (if you ride at night) then you can mount it to the rear fender or above the headlight on the number plate part of the shell , even with a fender brace of some kind if you mount a bag way out front , the fender will still bounce around a lot

This fender brace is made for a KLR650 but it might work for the 450X.

I'd mount it on the rear as well.. Much stronger/cleaner looking.

loff, thanks, I think this is what I am looking for.

My CRF450X is street legal, so I run on the highway from time to time,, this brace will keep my front fender from moving some
