Front mudguard, seems pants!

[MiniMac]

Just been looking in the Photo's section at the black Bandit with the front mudguard extension.

Seems to me that on the SV, the engine is going to get coated with crap all time time, so is there a suitable product that will protect my engine? Its going to be my commuter and main form of transport, so if anyone could post a quick checklist of stuff to check and on what timescale? I'm new to bikes, but know a fair bit about the 4 wheeled equivalents . Also, any mods aside from crash bungs that would fit the bill.

Its a K3 pointy

Appreciated, I'll try and get a few pics up too

You'll be wanting a fender extender from Pyramid Plastics, extends the fender at the rear so less crub gets on the engine.


I would also recommend cleaning the bike often and once cleaned spray a protector over the exposed engine, I use ACF-50 on both my SV's.

fenda extenders are a must but you'll never stop it completely,as dangerous Dave says cleaning the front of your engine regular is the best way.

The standard mudguard might seem a bit of a token effort, till you go for a ride in the wet without one fitted I almost drowned riding through a big puddle...

I see I'm not the only one who covers the oil cooler in winter to keep the crud off, I've cut a thin piece of plastic to fit behind the grill on mine.
Done the same with the ACF 50 and extender as well.

Not my bike mate, I have two Curvy's and took the picture off the Pyramid website so MiniMac could see what they looked like on a Pointy.

Brilliant, thanks for your help, I'll be getting one of them ASAP.

Yeah, gave it the beans with ACF 50 at the weekend

It's worth pop-riveting them on if you've got the tools - I glued mine on and it fell off after a bit of spirited riding.

Fender extender plus mudflap is what you want!
