What did you do to your F6B today?

[willtill]

Added Fender Extender from Big Bike Parts.

Pros: Inexpensive, discreet and well made, with metal reinforcement stringers that connect the extender to the fork for strength.

Cons: Sorry excuse of an installation manual, with illegible graphics. You need to drill 3 holes into the OEM fender, from the inside, where no drill will fit (except maybe a low-profile, right-angle Makita). I ended up drilling my pilot holes by hand with a T-handle chuck.

90+ minute install for me, which means 60 minutes or less for a coordinated person.

Fenda Extenda is a most effective addition. I did not mount mine with screws and/or bolts though. I took the rear fender off, cleaned it up and applied epoxy to the Fenda Extenda and the inside of the rear fender, then used clamps to secure it while the epoxy cured.

At any rate... You will like it!

Out of curiosity: What is the benefit to adding a fenda-extenda to the rear fender?

Keeps the front of the engine cleaner. Definitely a noticeable improvement.

Yeah, I understand why you'd add it to the front fender. You said you removed the rear fender so I was curious; it sounded like you added one to your rear fender.

I think he is referring to the rear part of the front fender as it is two pieces and easy to remove. I did the same mod and it does keep the engine a lot cleaner.

Rode 220 miles, with no destination, then changed the final drive oil and spark plugs. Air filter tomorro. Getting ready for the Rally!

OK, make sure you have someone hold your iPhone in video mode when you do the Air Filter, that's one thing I need to get done.
Let us know how long it take from start to finish.

Yes, that is what I was referring to... the rear portion of the front fender

Gotcha.
Wasn't being a smart ass this time; thought I was going to learn something new.

Swapped out my stock windscreen for a small, wider Clearview with dark tint and the recurve. Now I can finally listen to the radio on the highway.
