EDIT: Thanks for the correct move...I'm still learning and forgot this classification was here.

EDIT: Also see that they were available early this Spring via a Forum Search...they just showed in the U.K. Pyramid catalog three days ago therefore the post above...FU again on my part...asked them a year ago for one for my '06 but was on backorder pending a front fender to make a mold...live and learn.

I hope these are coming from a different source than previous batches. FJROWNERS.com forum had extensive threads of dissatisfied owners, both from quality of materials and just plain inaccurate hole patterns. Finally, and worst, the customer support quickly evaporated after the sale. I'm not saying don't buy, I'm saying be smart, use due diligence and ask 20 gazillion questions. Personally, I've even gone so far with situations like this as to call as if I was a customer who had already bought one and needed help with a potential problem and see how long it actually took to get close to resolution (before cancelling as if things had worked out or I was mistaken).

If they fail the customer service test, game over.

Rayban, you all mixed up bro !!

The Huggers are what was the crappy product not the FRONT Fendaextanda's ! :rolleyes:

 
I just put one on my new bike, and it fit like a glove, as usual.

I highly recommend GLUING it, not drilling it. Looks immensely better, and best of all, OEM.

I used PVC/ABS cement, as recommended somewhere here, and it works better than the epoxy I was using in the past. But the contours of the piece DON'T touch the stock fender uniformly, so apply glue liberally folks, to have a bettre bonding when dry. I don't think mine is going to go anywhere, but wish I had put more glue as it's probably not touching in too many places. The good news is it's hardly any stress there, and after a 300-mile ride cruising near the ton, it passed the test.

Oh, and I also bought it from Howard (Dandy); heck of a guy, and awesome customer service. Highly recommended.

Later gang.

I glued mine and also noticed the surface voids and installed a single pop rivet top center of fender looks fine and held 2 pieces together while glue was drying- had concerns things could get ugly if it came loose and wedged between fender and tire
