For the past few weeks I have been trying to pin a rattle down on the front of my bike, finally tracked it down to the front mudguard, it wasn't loose, it wasn't touching anything but I did notice it flexed a lot at the rear where the extender was fitted when going over bumps, removed the extender rattle has gone, cannot work out why but I know some extenders use stays as the stock mudguard is flimsy at the rear.

I use a R&G fender extender it over laps the original fender much more.

I put a mud flap on the bottom of my MachineArtMoto Avant-Guard. This lends more complete coverage and doesn’t depend on that flimsy front fender. It’s fairly unobtrusive, too...

I saw this Wunder Wurld model recently.

Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #5 Agree but now I know why they added it, not keen on the the extender on the outside either.

I also have the same issue with a Wunderlich rear hugger, at low engine rpm the hugger resonates and rattles, basically its too flimsy and the low frequency vibes you get in the drive shaft when setting makes it rattle, only noticed it when the bike is loaded up with luggage.

Zitat von Billywhizzz im Beitrag #7 I suggest the AusNZ rear fender.

Zitat von Blackshirt im Beitrag #3 Could you get a little closer with the camera?? It's a bit hard to copy from this distance.

That would probably make a good nail deflector and with that device installed you likely will never get another nail in your rear tire.
