I use ABS/PVC glue to glue mine on and it lasts a long time ...Have them in the shelf somewhere... never came around/fully motivated to install them...
Not too keen to drill holes into an (expensive) front fender (double sided tape won't make it long...)
I further think that the this "swing-arm protector" is actually rubbing though the paint and zinc layer, exposing bare metal...
So can you still remove the fender while the wheel is in?I use ABS/PVC glue to glue mine on and it lasts a long time ...
Yes - it has no effect on that process for me.So can you still remove the fender while the wheel is in?
Did that on the '94 recently, to have the clearance to remove the radiator, etc...
Some good recommendations for protecting the ST1100, thinking about Fender Extender to protect from water sand gravel splashes in exposed places. Found some pictures for front and rear wheels.

Same here.If you make them, I’ll buy 2.
Just thought of the idea to 3dprint a front extender in TPU rubber that would slip on over the edge of the fender. Add a smear of shoe glue and it would stay. Thoughts?
Sounds interesting.Just thought of the idea to 3dprint a front extender in TPU rubber that would slip on over the edge of the fender. Add a smear of shoe glue and it would stay. Thoughts?
I had, but as was shown you can just use a flat piece of rubber. No real need for a custom fitted piece. I can print a flat piece, but why?Sounds interesting.
Have you thought about a guard for the rear as well?
Nothing wrong with the plastic ones. Might be that on your side of the pond you don't need them, but certainly here in Blighty (you might have to 'Google' that) the roads can be covered in @4ÂŁ@ and it rains quite a lot. I have fitted mudguard extenders to nearly every bike I have owned. Manufacturers seem to prefer style over substance when it comes to bodywork protection. That extra 4 inches makes all the worl of difference.
But I like the idea of a slip-on style versus bolt-through, and using a more pliable material could make fitment easier around all the compound curves of that edge. And I can make it as short or long as desired. Just throwing the idea out there.
I agree, I would not purchase a bolt-on version.But I like the idea of a slip-on style versus bolt-through, ......
If I had a 1300 I could do it, but I don't.Sounds like a great idea! Except for the part where I have a 1300 and not an 1100.![]()
If you do, remember the ST1100 ABSII has a different sized front fender.If I had a 1300 I could do it, but I don't.
I do, but don't have one of those eitherIf you do, remember the ST1100 ABSII has a different sized front fender.![]()
If you decide to pursue it, Uncle Phil's Parts Department could send you a rear section for fitment.I do, but don't have one of those either
