Cracked front fender

[Hornblower]

Got any pics?

Can't seem to find a pic of the GL version on the manufacturers website, Amazon, or,,,?

I'll look for a pic but, in the meantime, here is the link to the correct part:

If you're wondering, I used plastic rivets to secure it instead of screws.

The conclusion I've drawn concerning this is that the heavier fender extenders tend to crack the fender just as you have described. I use an extender myself but it's a lighter, plastic one called the Fenda Extenda made by Pyramid Plastics. So far, this has worked out just fine. I have friends running these and they have had no problems either. I do believe the extender is useful in protecting the front of the engine so I plan to keep using it.

I have the same, Fenda Extenda. It's been on the bike for over a year with no signs of cracks to the fender.

Yep, I run the exact same one 'Fenda Extenda' by Pyramid plastics attached with the plastic push/pull rivets and double side 3M trim tape. I've had the extender on for over 5K miles with no problems and it does keep the front of the engine much cleaner than with out it.

Good pics!

Not as 'scoopish' (?) as others,,,

Can someone who owns a Fenda Extenda tell me the mounting process, i.e. what, if anything, comes with the Fenda for mounting?
Are the plastic rivets included?
Is there a template for drilling your fender?
There are no instructions or guides on the website.
Thanks.

I just found a bunch of youtube videos on the install. It sounds like the Fenda comes with the plastic rivets, and tape preinstalled to help during drilling.
I should have Googles BEFORE posting. Sorry.

I haven't installed a Fenda Extenda on a F6B, but I have put it on two other bikes. I just removed the fender, applied JB PlasticWeld, and clamped. I never had any problems with the extender coming loose.

My Fenda Extenda came with the double sided tape and four plastic push/pull plastic rivets. I pulled the fender off the bike and dry fitted the extend just to see how close it matched the profile of the fender which was darn near perfect. After cleaning the tire side of the fender of any dirt & contamination with an alcohol wipe, I used the supplied double sided tape to stick it all together.
I then re-installed fender with the Extenda taped in place to again check fit & clearance. Confident all was good, I removed the fender with the extenda in place and drilled the four holes and inserted the push/pull rivets then reinstalled the fender. There was no template for drilling supplied with my Extenda, but you do get to look at the inside and outside of the fender(it is in your hand) for logical placement of the rivets and where to drill.

Tip: I put a band of masking tape across the fender where I was going to drill the holes so I could mark them and to prevent any slippage of the drill that would scratch the paint on the fender, then after drilling I removed the masking tape before installing the four push/pull rivets.
