Radiator abuse!

The way the radiator seems to collect everything I'm suprised Asif didn't find it in there

Unfortunately I found it as I ran over it!!

That'll teach me to take shortcuts when putting it on.

Just a thought - which fender extender did each of you go for and how does it look on the bike?

found this one

Hi Viper, thanks for the link mate, although I've just ordered one on ebay just before clicking back to the site - just my luck!

After searching for one via loads of sites and links, I ended up giving up and went to ebay and got the Busters one - not sure what the quality will be like for 17 quid though - its probably made from an old vending machine coffee cup.

I didn't think of seaching ebay using the good old fashioned word "mudguard". Think I've been brainwashed into thinking it was only called a fender extender.

Well the fender extender was fitted today and doesn't look out of place at all, so am very pleased.
It was only £17 from Busters on ebay, and made by a company called Red Fox. It came with a drill bit, Plastic rivets and fitting instructions too.
I took on board the problem Asif had with his, but still didn't have the heart to drill into my mudguard  . I fitted the fender extender with some industrial silicone sealer, which is more than strong enough (I hope! time will tell) to secure it to the mudguard.

I did notice that there were two holes pre moulded / drilled into the back of the mudguard which I assume is for a Kawasaki fender extender. Does anyone know if such an item exists?

my fender extender is just siliconed on, 2 years ago. I did take off the front fender and key the inside for better grip and clamped tight over night.

Hmm, thats something for me to bear in mind, I didnt know you could silicone the buggers on.

I bought my radiator guard from Taiwan, exepnsive but good quality metal grade, be careful with a front fender extension as there have been some reports that bikes gets much hotter in hot weather due to air flow intake restriction, but it may not be an issue in the UK!
