What a day for rain.

Took the wife and kid to Livinsgton. Asda for the wife and Toys R Us for the kid. Usual. Spent a fortune on both and nothing on me.....

Got home, took myself to my garage and spent about an hour looking at my fender extender and trying to work out how to fit the blooming thing .. ...have now given up...

I used the marine sikaflex to fit mine, held it on with clothes pegs and it's been as soldi as a rock ever since. No holes required.

Went out the day to a mates to rip apart the brakes on the 9r and replace the 6 pots with 4 pots, and junk all the rubber brake lines with braided stuff. Well worth the hassle.

Got soaked going there, and going home. Felt like turning round and chasing a van ***** who decided to speed up going through a deep puddle once he saw I had stopped short of a flooded area of road. The 10 foot high wave of water from his van soaked me. Ignorant asswipe..... If I ever see a Renault van with the Reg Plate SG08 HBX he's getting a brick thrown through his windscreen and all his tyres slashed.......

Fender Extender?
Don't **** around, drill a hole through both using the sticky tape stuff on the extender already there, and use some self tapping screws..

Thats how I did it
