Fender Extender - Pros and Cons please.
 

ive seen that quite a few people get them, but is there any advantage of getting on or is it purely cosmetic??

Re: Fender Extender?? Pro's and Con's please
 

stops carp getting in your front plug, well worth it, no cons

Re: Fender Extender?? Pro's and Con's please
 

thats what i thought originally but i have a small flap of plasticy rubber that hangs infront of the front plug area, not sure if thats standard or if crap still manages to wriggle its way in.

Buy a couple of alloy number plate bolts at the same time and use these to fit. Looks much nicer then the self tappers provided. Will post a pic when I get chance.

sadly only available in black! Looks better when contact adhesive''d in place
No issues except that

Fender Extender stuck on with Evostik flexi bond stuff. Looks better than screwing it on and is really secure.

A Fender Extender and some silicone grease around the HT lead will stop the front spark from getting water into it and cutting out.

The flap on the pointy is a poor effort at solving the problem just like the pointy bike itself ;). The fender extender does the job. I was a sceptic about the whole thing and covered 30k before the problem arose. Fitted one, and done another 38k without any issue to date so it works. Mine as always been self tapped into place. Its in a place to you dont really see so not that bothered.

See YC, think he made his own out of a drain pipe and gaffer tape :D

Re: Fender Extender?? Pro's and Con's please
 

He did, and its still there after about three years and maybe 50k or so!
Still the same gaffer, in fact tiz the only thing that hasn't dropped off his bike ;-)

I think this is a benefit, at least on a non-black bike since the black fender extender still maintains the appearance of the short front mudguard, especially with black wheels.

I put mine on with button head stainless screws and nylocs - I have a bit of an aversion to self tappers and didn't trust the adhesive tape by itself.
