extenda fenda's, are they worth it?
 

thinking of buying one of these since they decided to resurface the road outside my house and expect cars to clear up all the loose stones. anyway are they worth it and also are they easy to fit? looking at the description you have to drill holes in the existing one which I don't like the sound of and it also means that once you've decided to put it on you can't take it off as it'll leave holes. Also I have a silver bike so would the black bit extenda bit look ok?

The fender extender is a very good idea to add to any SV, it will stop extra crap flying up from the road but it mainly does an excellent job of keeping water off the front spark plug.

You dont need to drill holes, although the packaging recommends it, I was in the same mind as you and didnt want to do it. So i used some very strong poxy type glue to stick it on and its pretty damn stable. Not sure what I used as it was a while ago I fitted it but you have a large surfact area so cover it with glue and wack it on, job done!

In terms of colour coding you could always try and get it sprayed, get some colour matched spray and do it yourself maybe would be the cheapest option.

Anyway hope this helps

The plain black ones are not really noticeable, they just blend in with the tyre.

As for value, wot they say. :wink:

The FE is also pretty good at stopping small stones being flicked into the rad off the front wheel.

Anyone know where you can get these from quite cheap???

EBay, Busters, M&P to name a few.

i've a brand new one for sale still in wrapper. make me an offer

Yes.

Don't see how an SV can be safely ridden in the wet without one. An absolute essential. Mine is black so blends well with existing parts (my SV is black!).
