- I fitted an extension to the bottom of my front mud guard/fender to reduce the effect of stones thrown up by the front tyre.

Hi Martin,what a great idea,saves the stones flying towards the radiator.definitely worth doing.
Cheers Steven
I have a 2018 SG and just re watched your video. I live in Wa. state and we get a "fair" amount of rain here so I ordered one. Even if it only helps a little bit it may be worth it. Came to 44.50 us dollars.
I fitted mine a year ago and it's still on. I had a lot of messages saying it won't stick but providing you prepare properly and make sure all surfaces are really clean then you will have no problems but I did also use an extra adhesive. It rains a lot in the UK and Im really pleased Ive got it. Ride safe and thanks for commenting👍
I just did this. the pyramid plastic double sided tape peeled off after about a month so I pulled it off before it fell off... I ended up having another go with a few bits of external use double sided tape and used some black automotive sikkaflex polyurethane adhesive. Seems to have worked but time will tell. I also put a Chinese chin spoiler on - looks good actually.
oh and re: the radiator damage, get some flat black paint and use relatively dry paint brush and you will take the shine off the radiator and will barely see it..
going to keep my fingers crossed that the Eno-Stik work🤞
@@aussiemotolife347 great tip, thanks👍
Great video. Very useful and a good guide for others that may want to fit one too. Looks great too, job well done.
Thanks 👍
Great Item. I put it on my 97 Super Glide. It even looks good.
Great installation video, keep the content coming...
👍
I bought a piece of mesh from Rad Guard online and fitted to my oil cooler to protect it.
I bet it was a lot cheaper than the £100 plastic guard I bought from motea to protect my oil cooler. What are HD thinking by not giving it a little protection
There are a number of radiator grill covers available on eBay.
Cheers Graham, I will have a look👍
Superb video as usual 👍What is the tightening torque Nm for the 4 front mudguard screws, thank you for your feedback 👍👍😉
Hello Philippe, looking at the workshop manual its 1.1 to 1.6NM or 10 to 14 in-lbs. I also use locktite. Hope that is of help
@@My_bike_and_me thank you from France ✌
@@My_bike_and_me 1.6 NM ~ it's not more ???? 😲 Thanks for your return 👍👍👍👍
You need to fit the plastic rivets or the adhesive will eventually fail.
Going to be my last resort, really dont want to drill the fender
Avec le temps ça a tenu ?? Ou vous avez riveté ?? En tout top le résultat bravo
No rivets, still holding. All as good as the day I installed it👍
An absolute must do..hows the mono shock ? Still working ?
absolutely no issues however I ride solo so once its adjusted then I have just left it alone
Why not use sticks like shite on the whole area rather than the adhesive pads ?
Hi, My intention was to just use the supplied adhesive pads but went with the additional adhesive just as an added security. no reason why you cant just use your own adhesive though. For info, the fender extender is still on and working well
