Fender extender
06/26/15 8:57 AM

Installed my fender extender from project D. No more spray from the wheel going into the lower radiator and on the engine.

Where did you get the fender extender billy? I wonder if it would do as good at keeping stuff from getting tossed into the radiator and damaging it. Would this be as good as a radiator screen or guard? Sprung weight or unsprung weight, which is worse? Doesn't look like it weighs much.

I would say, "almost" but it won't be of much help with stuff that might be careening down the road off of other vehicles. ...or something large you might run over and flip up into your rad. All in all, I do the extender becuase of the weight dif and i bet it's a lot cheaper too.


how does it attach?

David here is where I got it (from Taiwan) http://projektd.com/index.php?osCsid=ca4d6fb4dda777ea057d9c9ee9478244
Just a small piece of plastic, weighs very little. Came with 2 adhesive strips on the piece and screws. I was not going to use the screws that would look like crap so I used the adhesive strips it came with and epoxy. Super easy and fit like a glove. I thought I paid 30 bucks for it but its listed at 29 euros which is a bit more. A lot for a piece of plastic but then again it was perfect fit. I drive to work a lot and often rain or shine and there was a water mark on the lower radiator where it was constantly getting sprayed, now I don't have to worry about that or small stones coming off the wheel.

It would take a lot of time to make something yourself and not be as nice. $30 is a good price. I have not tested Amazing Goop

Hub swears by this suff and he has gooped a lot heftier items than a fender extender to his bike. No bolt snecessary, you cannot pull it off. The way you remove it is to grab the goop with a needlenose and roll it off. I've seen videos of adhesives of this type and I'm pretty impressed.
