Title: Carbon fibre front mudguard with inclusive extender
Post by: richtea on December 14, 2021, 10:49:22 pm: I only post this because I looked for an inclusive extension for a long time, and accidentally found it today:
https://www.motocomposites.com/products/front-fender-long-version-in-100-carbon-fiber-for-bmw-k1200r-k1200s-k1300s.html

Pros:
- better crud catching
- no chirping when you hit bumps because the carbon won't flex (unlike a normal fender extender)
- bling!

Cons:
- price, but then again not far off Ilmberger prices, and more practical

Disclaimer: I've heard Motocomposites are well made, but I don't have any of their kit.

I'm a bit confused about the number of mounting holes shown in a couple of the piccies but otherwise it is a better job than anyone else has managed.

It's a trick of the eye - the 'middle' hole is the lower hole on the other side of the mudguard!
Pic 3 gives the game away best.

If it weren't for the import duties...

It's only money Tom and you can't take it with you.

It wouldn't last very long though if I bought too many mudguards at that sort of price.

Quite true Rae, but you can some wicked fun on your way out:

Sorry for the unxeptable cost of shiping and the relevant import taxes.
Hope UK has a better deal.
