Front Fender Buzz

Reading the above post about fenders reminded me:

The front fender on my 02 vibrates making a buzzing noise. It seems to be coming from where the fender flares and wraps around the leading side of the fork sliders.  I believe the fender is just touching the forks.

Has anyone else delt with this?  If I remove the wheel, can it be adjusted out where the fender bolts to the fork brace?

I guess the easy fix is to sumush some foam into the space between fender and fork.

mine did that because some of the bolts were loose.. on that fork brace.. tigtened it and its gone now.

Yeah, do a good tightening of bolts... I didn't know what was making that sound after I did a lot of work on it... then discovered my front fender would make this obnoxious roaring buzz once I got up to about 5-6k rpm  :oops:

Check bolt tightness on everything periodically...
