Front mudguard, seems pants!

Where did you order it from mate and how much?

Whilst my bike is mint I want to do all I can to help keep it that way!

I followed the link a few mails before mine to Pyramid Plastics.
As I've found the skimpy guard annoyingly ineffective for the mud etc. that splatters the lower front of the engine, I didn't hesitate.
Price, on line, delivered to my home was approx £23. Perhaps there are other add on suppliers but all bike bits are expensive, so I bit the bullet !

23 quid to stop your bike turning into a cranky 325 single in the wet is cheap at the price IMO

I'll probably get one for my black one now just to be on the safe side.

Can you send a piccie?? I was thinking about fashioning something simliar....

FWIW.

The guard extension I ordered recently turned up promptly and fitted onto the SV's rather short original very well. I just followed their instructions, aided by an illustration in the package.
As it's in black, it hardly shows and I prefer not to colour match it. Riding around this week in the drizzly weather it seems O.K. and hasn't come loose.
For the £21 it cost delivered it would be difficult to make a pretty alternative suitable for regular use

This is the one I did, in fact I've done 2 and neither bike has suffered any wet running problems (both with fender extendas and silicone grease on the cap though). Painted aluminium.


This sort of shows how it fits

Yup - assuming of course I haven't already got a fender extenda It's a good bit of kit, but doesn't solve the issue 100% (as I found on the way back from Wales over the weekend!)
