Can you tell me what specific silicone you used? (i live in Europe and probably would need to buy a different brand. I just need to know what SPECIFC silicone it is...as there many different kind of silicone in the stores. Also interesting to know if it still holds......
Tiger seal or puraflex 40 would make a better job than silicone it's used for bonding car windscreens and body skirts etc, it's like a black rubber and won't ever come off, it's only about £5/£6, used it to stick bumper extenders to my sons car, held for years and still is as far as I know.
@@afds92 Well, I used the same method and installed it on my bike now. It has been on the bike for a week and I can tell you that it's rock solid. I used "Evo-Stick Sticks like Shit" silicon adhesive from Screwfix. I have sealed all the cavities to avoid water getting in between the fender and mudguard.
Am I alone in thinking that it is ridiculous that honda fit such a pathetic guard to the bike in the first place? Mind you, if they showed any common sense then the bike would also have been fitted with shaft drive....
Totally agree on the fender, but the shaft drive... Not only a power drain as @ben ducharme mentioned, but it would also add cost to the motorcycle making it significantly more expensive. The NC750X is a fantastic budget oriented motorcycle.
Like many manufacturers, Honda cut the corners on the basic bike and expect buyers to add a load of accessories to make up. But shaft drive is another matter - extra weight plus loss of transmission efficiency. A better way to go, give that NC stands for "New Concept", would have been belt drive, which is largely maintenance free. Although there are some transmission losses in a belt compared with a chain, you can do without a centre stand because there is no need for frequent adjustment or oiling. That weight saving compensates for any lost transmission efficiency.

Sandpaper would have done the job much quicker and thorough...
Nice complete video. Where did you get carbon extender and how much? Plan on getting NC750X very soon!
Nice video, thank you for sharing 👍👍👍

How did it LAST?
I think it is really good advaise
I will be using 3M double sided tape making sure to get as close to the corners as possible and close of all sides
Is it long enough for protect radiator from dirt, which can fly from front wheel ? Will bike clean if you drive off-road?
Did it hold?
Good question, I am wondering the same. I am about to fit my fender extender and am between silicone and two component glue like epoxy
@Ecclesiastes 3:18 3M sticky pads and plastic rivets for mine (once I get up the courage to remove the guard from the bike)
I'm about to do the same to my new bike and I was wondering if it stills hold after long time?
I'm about to do the same now too, what do think ? Is yours still holding using this method?
@@khalidaziz5991 I haven't put it yet but I'll put it soon with some sealing glue.

@@khalidaziz5991 thank you very much for the feedback. Good luck with your bike.
@@khalidaziz5991 hello. How is it holding after 7 months? Still great? Thanks in advance

C Cooper I agree about the fender, but shaft drive robs power output, which this bike is already lacking.

overkill. some tape ans screws would have done it in 30 minutes
