No, I don't have a fender extender. In fact, I haven't done any mods at all. There is,
however, a small piece of rubber hanging from the radiator which comes as standard.

My 2000 Curvey started doing that. after fitting the fender extender no problem, but had to change the front plugcap as the water had knackered that as well.

A friend of ours has the pointy, and his bike died completely on one wet rideout. Needed copious squirts of WD40 to get him running again. Before we fitted the fender extenda ours would maybe stutter once or twice in really heavy rain, but it never died, like his did.

My SV rapidly became an SV325S in the rain before I fitted a fender extenda...

my 03 pointy runs like a dog in the wet,coughing,spluttering and stalling
a fender xtender seems to be the way to go

Yes I do but it wasnt for the rain problem just to stop crud on the motor and rad!

I have a fender extenda, i have no problems in the rain with the piston, however I do with the electrics or the carbs, as it likes to bog down at low revs in the wet...

No fender exterder of anything else fitted, the area around the front plug does get wet but the water dosent seem to get below that into the plug.
