GTR 1400 Front and Rear fender extenders

[viper]

I too used the solvent pipe weld, I actually use this stuff on a weekly basis when im doing kitchen plumbing, used it on the front fender and due to the type of plastics used It took about an hour to go solid, on plumbing abs material it takes about 10 seconds, sound as a pound now tho!

Yes, ABS glue is a solvent cement and most commonly used in plumbing for ABS drainage piping. Plumbing supply shops are the best source even over on our side of the world 

Contrary to instructions some have tried to install my fender extenders with other glues and epoxies or even two sided sticky tape.

They and their fender extenders soon parted company

Good thinking on making the rear removable. The only drawback to that is not being able to seal the seam on the inside with RTV silicone, keeping dirty water from leaking through the seam.

Not had any rain yet so don't know if it would be a problem. Just in case I've re-installed adding a 1mm thick strip of rubber sandwiched between the original guard and the extender. I'll let you know how it goes ... bound to rain soon.

I had my front fender extender held on with silicon sealant. It was on for more than 2 years and still there when I sold her.. Drilling and putting either screws or rivets makes it look terrible. My front fender extender on my new baby has been fitted by previous owner and he screwed them on..

My FRONT one is stuck on with ABS/PVC solvent glue ... but we're talking about the REAR one now

Yes, and the reason that you have to use bolts or rivets on your rear (your bikes rear  ) fender is that unlike the front which is molded from ABS plastic, the rear fender is made from Polypropylene plastic which most glues don't bond to worth crap.

So since the rear fender extender is also ABS and being mated to Polypropylene, you need to rivet your rear

my rear is riveted with the parts you supplied, they are very descreet and look fine, my front is glued, however my old front fender was silicone on for a few years and held fine. When it became damaged I was able to prise it away and fit this new one!

Another few pictures that show very nicely the proper fitting of the front fender extender.
