Cool Alan.. Take your time fitting it..
You dont have to take the assembly off to fit it but removing the number plate will help. Would be best if someone is with you to keep an eye on it when drilling the holes for the rivits so you dont put it on at a slight angle..

This is all true, however I prefer the removal of the rear fender. As per pictures in my installation sheet. It makes fitting the extender easier, especially by yourself and easier riveting as well.  :smiley:

Just checked my front fender extender which I believe is a Pyramid Plastics one.... a good 3" shorter at a guess... so a pair for 105 USD looks a good bet.... just placed my order    :cool:

An update. In sending out orders today I was given a surprise at the post office. Canada post basically changed their rates and practices regarding overseas packages and other services.

Prior to this the rate for an overseas air package was good. To the UK for a front and rear extender was about $28 Canadian.

Now as of today the rate has gone up substantially.

The package weight rules have changed also. To qualify for affordable airmail rates the package has to be less than 500 grams in weight.  The package with 2 fender extenders is around 640 grams.

What was $28 is now $40  :shocked:

If I can reduce the package weight to under 500 grams it will still be affordable.

As I include the shipping this is a big hit. As a result I had to ship one package today using a slower service method for the affordable rate.

I will be attempting to get the package weight down to the needed weight.

If you want to order now, I can still do the $105 for front and rear (usually $150 ordered separately)

I may  have to bump the price in the near future to reflect the change.

Sending the packages by air makes delivery time reasonable, surface service is much slower.

One good bit of news for me, I purchased a large quantity of plastic today, and the price of that has not gone up.  :smiley:

Thanks for the words of praise on my extenders and thanks for the orders.

I appreciate it all.

Larry.

Larry.... I've managed without your fenders since I got the bike last September... so to wait a little longer is no big deal  ... look forward to getting them   :cool:

Thanks for the update Larry,  if the shipping cost of my item needs to be increased then let me know the difference and I'll send some more dosh to cover the extra  :yes:

First thanks for the patience Bryn. The wait will be long but worth it in the end  :smiley:

The problem lies in the weight of the 2 shipped together.  One alone is well under the magic weight so no problem.

I tried to trim the weight of the package, no luck.

In any case the whole thing is still manegable .

I think that instead of $105 it will be $135 from this point forward.

That will still allow a good deal, less than the $150 ordered seperately and cover the new shipping cost for faster airmail delivery.

So, the choice can be yours  :smiley: $105 US for slow surface mail delivery, or $135 for faster airmail delivery. (Again this is for the front and rear ordered together)


That should cover the UK as well as other countries over that way.

I have had one of Larry's front extenders for 18 months or more now, really good bit of kit.

It pays to take a little care positioning it when glueing, my first attempt meant it finished very close to the V at the bottom of the fairing front edges, but a little more effort got it far enough away that there is no risk of them touching under braking.

Great product, thanks Larry.
