Fender Extender

I have a Fender Extender purchased from the NEC. It comes with 4
self-tapping screw but I am reluctant to screw it on in case the original
fender cracks.

Can anyone recommend a type of glue that will be effective at gluing 2 bits
of plastic together and is waterproof/weather-proof?

 

The fender will crack if you try putting the screws straight in.

Drill holes in the fender first - put insulation tape over the the drilling
points to stop the drill slipping

I did this on my TDM850 - worked a treat. Only needed 2 screws.

 

And while drilling the holes, do not put your finger behind it to support
the mudguard...

What wessie say`s..;-)

I used all 4 self-tappers on the Muell and it hasn`t cracked/split or
fell-off, and this bike vibrates!

Alternatively use a soldering iron to melt in the holes with no chance of
cracking.

No glue will hold them together: the constant vibration will have them
falling apart in a week or two.

 

Though this J&B Autoweld is bloody good stuff!

 

I'm waiting for curium to ask about the little strip of double-sided
tape that always comes with them - the one that is good for holding it
together while you drill the holes, like ;-)

 

I used araldite glue on the fender extender for the fazer, works a treat
and no probs. Have to roughen both contact sides first.
