Fender Extender

[fatbastard]

I've just bought an 09 R1200GS ,I can see already the damage it causes without one. Could someone recommend me a good Fender Extender and is it worth putting on a Crud Catcher aswell .If the answers yes is the one advertised on the site as good as any. Thanks in advance

Yes and Yes and yes

Not ridden the bike yet with the Crud Catcher on it but it can only be a bonus ?

I am riding to the Isle of Wight on Tuesday so will give you a better reply later in the week

Hi. It is worth checking whether there is a foam thing under the black plastic cover. This is the cause of many corrosion problems and looks like damage that would be caused by crud being kicked up from the front tyre. That might exacerbate the problem but the foam problem is well discussed in this forum. Worth checking. I managed to take this out and I am to bike mechanics what Jordan is to opera singing.

Ive got a crud catcher on my 1150gs great bit of kit, makes cleaning bike far easier, no more shit and muck across ballancer pipe and bottom of engine, have not seen the need to fit a fender extnda, but i dont know if there is a big difference on the 1200.

Your maybe right having both might be a bit of overkill.

fit the fenda extenda - and clean the bike per the owners manual

I fitted one of these earlier in the year....

Massive improvement and way better results (and cheaper) than a friend's Wunderlich fender extender. Fitted using Araldite only and it's still there.

The first one got crushed in the post on it's way here but they replaced it immediately FOC with better packaging.

I've ordered one from Nippy Norman's last night and received an email saying it's posted today. I've cleaned and stripped the bike and sprayed it with
ACF-50 so hoping it's ready for the winter ahead

I've got both...the Pyramid Fender Extenda and the Cymarc Crud Catcher. You're right, it is overkill but I like that.

Now the front end's sorted, what's best for the back end? Should I go all out for an Ilmberger hugger in carbon at £200 or for a MudSling from Nippy Norma's, oops Norman's, for less than half of that?

Any views? (Daft question)

I'm awaiting delivery of a Puig hugger - looks OK and is considerably cheaper than a Ilmburger hugger http://www.motorcycle-exhausts.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=9502 (it was £144 last week when I ordered mine)

Forget a hugger the shit will just go over the top of it and still cover you with crud !!get a mudsling and youll be sorted an so will your bike especially your shocker and your dry legs ,well recomended

Gone up to £148.01 plus £10 shipping but I've ordered one as it looks ok and is about the only thing I can find other than t he arforementioned Ilmburger...

Thanks for the link.

I bet you met some high quality crud on Island roads. The locals, who can't cope with "Mainland" drivers (or driving for that matter) have a saying "Island Roads Are Different". Should actually read "Island Roads Are Sh1t".

A good test for the crud catcher I'd say. Next time try my road through Merstone - it about as cr*p as you can get with deep standing water, leaves, potholes, twigs, rabbits, squirrels (red of course) to name but a few items of local crud. Give me a shout next time you're over and I'll show you mine, if you now what I mean.

Did it turn up? I had an e-mail saying it was on back order and they will let me know when it will be ready but have still charged my credit card??

I received the same e-mail after I ordered it, but I received an e-mail yesterday advising that it had been dispatched and it arrived this morning They're probably cheap because they carry no stock and only order from Puig when they receive an order

Haven't opened the box yet though as I'm about to leave home to drive to London for a meeting

I've just ordered one of those from here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAIE...rcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item45ef80a04c

It looks just like a Mudslinger but it's half the price (£60.00 including delivery from the States). Lets see how it turns out......
