Re: Pointy running poorly.

Re: SV wet front plug syndrome

Cheers guys for all the replies. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a cheap fenda extenda? All the shops I've seen online seem a bit pricey - M&P, Wemoto etc

Re: SV wet front plug syndrome

Cheers husky.

Forgot to mention that it didn't have a fenda extenda. Anybody got one that needs a good home? :)

Would one be able to pick up silicone grease from Halfords?
