Extenda Fenda - ? ? ?

I have just bought a extenda fenda and it says i have to screw it into place! Does anyone else have one, is there another way of fitting is securely without making holes and screwing it in?
Cheers.

Yep, No More Nails type stuff works, you just need to hold it in place while it sets

nice one, my only concern would be to find one day the fenda extenda has come off whilst riding. Is this highly likely or highly unlikely?

Doubt it! I used some stuff from B&Q which described itself as "the strongest silicone sealant you can buy", I think it was called Hard as Nails or something.

I tried taking the Fenda Extenda off my old mudguard to put on the new one - Fuck that Shocked

I'd have broken the mudguard before I got it off Laughing

Just screw it on, your not going to be taking it off and once on no one will notice the screws, especially if you paint the heads black. Wink

Also put a bead of sealant around the inside of the join to stop dirty water running down and making it look messy.

I used silicone sealant and double sided tape on mine. It didn't fall of.

Just make sure you give it a day or so to properly dry. Thumbs Up

Epoxy and sealed the edges with hot glue.

Mine's screwed on, looks ok but I'm pleased it was on the Kwak when I bought it as fuck would I have payed 25 quid for it just because it's got Kawasaki on it...

The company i bought the fenda from recommend using sikaflex 221, so i have ordered some off ebay. Hopefully that will be strong enough and hold it in place pretty well.

i stick mine on with epoxy resin (Araldite etc)

wash both areas first, and it helps if you roughen them with sandpaper. Won't come off after that

I also bought mine off eBay (from Pyramid plastics) there was double-sided adhesive tape already on it. But I think the purpose of that was to hold it in place while you secure it with screws, personally I prefered to rivet mine and I don't think it looks too bad, but it'll never come off.

I will have a look tomorrow at the drill bits i have.
Then i will stand looking at my mudguard debating with myself whether to glue it on, or screw it on. . .

Blunet600 · Nearly there... Joined: 03 Dec 2005 Karma :

I stood, and looked, stood and looked.
If i drill it would be best to take the mudguard off right?
And do i drill all the way through both mudguard and fenda extenda?
cheers.

Drill, glue or both you need to take the guard off, imho.

Drilled mine with the guard on the bike, just turned the bars to full lock and drilled two holes each side. Even managed to get one up the middle damaged nothing, here's my manky effort:

ok, will try with mudguard attached. I am going to hate drilling into the mudguard though. Perfectly smooth, clean, unaffected or marked area soon to be drilled through Crying or Very sad

I had exactly the same doubts and fears, and thought it'd "spoil the look" or I'd really screw it up.

But, I didn't and when the bike is clean it looks quite good, it's also kept a lot of road dirt off the front of the bike, I'd hate to think how dirty it would be without one.

Remember smooth and steady, give it a go and let us know how you get on.
