Re: Homemade Fenda-Extenda
Nice one Jack.
Used a similar technique for a rear mudguard replacement on an XS400 "rat" many moons ago. Nowhere near as tidy a job as yours though!

Re: Homemade Fenda-Extenda
Reckon I might as well - I'm getting sick of having to hose road salt of my bash guard every time I go anywhere - i.e. most days.............

Re: Homemade Fenda-Extenda
why do they continually make front huggers so short? its obvious whats going to happen, and its not always a "buy our accessories sir" thing because most manufacturers dont even do an extender as an accessory!
you should see how short my mates hornet hugger is, its a joke! with the radiator right behind it too. my varadero's not too bad but theres still a 3" gap between the bottom of the hugger and the top of the belly pan with a nice inviting section of exhaust pipe exposed to all the crud. on all my bikes so far i usually take the hugger off, lay up some carbon fibre on the inside, then shape an extension piece from it that i know will fit to the hugger profile perfectly. i then rivet this on the bottom lip. this works for rear huggers too, if you got one that doesnt cover the lower shock linkage underneath the swingarm you can extend the hugger through the swingarm and extend it down a bit.

The alp has a white rear mud flap which does the trick pretty good and belly pan keeps your engine clean. The rear shock on the Vara is completely exposed and belly pan should really extend a bit further up on front. |
