Default Re: Belly Pan vs Fender Extender (sorry for stupidity)

both, fender wotsit and pan. If your to get a bellypan make sure its one that covers underneath the engine, as some seem just for cosmetic purpose. My Roca goes right under and does the job of keeping the crap off the underneath, the fender extenda keeps the muck off your downpipe and off your front plug.

Oki good good. I can see the reasons why a pan would work to protect but i want it mainly for aesthetic reasons so i'll probably get one anyway, but how urgently i was unsure, i think i'll get them in the order stated here, FE, bungs, then pan/hugger.
Thanks

Belly pan looks better But as stated, it does pretty much naff all for keeping biblical levels of crud off the engine, oil rad, front plug. Hugger doesn't do a whole lot more for the rear shock than the standard flap does (assuming a pointy here by the way) but it does a bit plus it does do a good job of keeping chunks of the swingarm, undertray and the back of your legs clean

Sweet I've got a curvy though but i'm sure the effect is similar. A belly pan finishes a bike off imo anyway as for looks, especially a faired curvy, i'll be getting one anyway, but as for when i think i'll leave it a bit

Hovis when it comes to pay day i'll be posting in there for a bit of stuff for sure thanks

Bellypan does nowt for the engine, just covers up the muck, it will still get covered in salt spray.

Get fender extender, then motosliders. Or maybe motosliders first.

I've said before, it depends what brand belly pan you get. The Roca one covers the entire underbelly of the engine. I take mine off for cleaning fairly often, and theres pretty much nowt on the engine.......and yes I have ridden it in rain and muck often )
It'll cost you for the priviledge though, they ain't cheap as they are colour matched as well. OR for more mega bucks spot lights in them
One other downside is that the paint chips very quickly.
If your going down the list in useful order like YC says fender extenda then motosliders.

They both protect a different area of the engine, best to fit both if you want the best protection.
