Looks ok, such items are not easy to come by so I'd go with it for the time being

Would be a good thing to have made new in 17", I think. Maybe the same fabricator who produces the fairing and side panels could be talked into that?

Any way you could space it downwards by a few mill??
Spacers under the bracket maybe or would that look pants??
Don't think it's far off looking right mate.

just needs to be lower thats all, wheel size is academic, theyre all still round, all you need to do is space it so the muddy sits closer to the tyre.

probably lower it a bit.

What size is the 400's front wheel? Would one of them fit a bit better?
