I have a 1996, R850R which kicks back quite a lot of dirt and stones onto the headers and front engine.
Any suggestions please for a suitable front mudguard fender extender.
The Pyramid ones on ebay and motorworks appear quite short and I would like a longer version. Dont want to buy one then add another piece of rubber to stop all the shiiiite.
Anyone bought a good one for their bike that provides good protection. Thanks.
 
The standard BMW extender from a R1100RS works well and is a good bit longer than the Pyramid Plastics one,I have one on my 1150GS.Motobins or Motorworks used to sell them and from memory they were not expensive.
 
This isn’t going to help you much but................

I found that none of the aftermarket ‘fender extenders’ gave enough protection. So in the end I made my own using an aftermarket mudslinger for an R1200GS Adventure (2012) as a pattern and crafted one out of fibre glass.

It works a treat, it is long enough and wide enough to keep all the crap at bay, and it looks great, only wish I made it years ago.
