| | Posted : 21 Mar 2012 - 05:29 Post title : Front Fender Extension | | | Hi All
The Storm is the 1st air/water cooled bike i've owned and i'm worried about "Crud" being kicked up into and damaging the radiator.
Does anyone know if there's a factory or after market front fender extension?
Australian distributors would be helpful 
Ta, Al'

Any chance of you posting a picture after you fit it? I like the idea but don't want to mess up the lines of the stock wheel and fender.

I'd heard of fenda extenda before and even found out that Triumph dealers can get it for you, $40 or abouts. Just wondered if there were other types out there...

Ph 07 5451-8733 ask for lady called Chris.
Link Or send a Email to info@amcmotorcycles.com or just Google AMC.
They have some back to back tape to apply it. but I removed the front wheel and sealed and bolted mine with some small stainless cup head bolts & nuts. Looks like it supposedot be there.
My neighbour has one of the first Tbirds inot this part of the country and couldent believe when I got mine that they hadnt extended the front guard. the other design problen is the Engine Oil Dipstick and where it is located, Fast Eddy has overcome that design problem with an extended dipstick to stop any debris getting into the engine when you are checking the oil.

Just had a Fenda Extends delivered from Motorad, took 1 full day..!
www.motorradgarage.com.au, Perth based.
Had one on my VFR, kept the rad much cleaner...
No rush to fit it yet as Perth hasn't seen good rain in 3 months and probably won't for another 3....

| | Posted : 22 Mar 2012 - 02:11 Post title : Re: Front Fender Extension (Re: essbjay) | | | On the front fender of my bird,I installed a rubber mud flap very similar to what you guys are lookin at.I used 1/2 inch long,1/4 20 bolts,with the head of the bolt on the inside and used chromed acorn nuts on the outside with a small washer.I also placed a small square piece of black tape to protect the paint on the fender.Works and looks pisser.And the best part is,I only had to buy the acorn nuts.I think they cost me 50 cents.

I get enough shit about this thing being the most polished TBird in the country so I may as well cop some about it being the most photographed.

Thanks Gerry, much appreciated, I've just bought a fenda extenda I think I might go down the stick it on route, ... to begin with. 
I think it would kill me (not to mention what the wife would do ! ) if I drilled the new paint work just yet.
