I'm not a "clean freak" but, the amount of road trash that gets thrown on the clutch release arm every ride got me cranky .seems the rear fender was designed to dump grime on the release arm! Soooo I fabricateda small mud flap for the front edge of the fender.i cu a piece of rubber roof material 7"X4" punched 2holes o line up w/fender retainer nuts. Remove nuts slip mudflap over bolts & using plastic washers reattached nuts! 400mi mixed riding & clutch arm is dang near spotless ! Sorry I'm a bit of a Luddite so pics aren't in my wheelhouse ,I hope my description helps . A clean clutch arm is a happy clutch arm

Would love to see a picture or two if ever possible.

A solution to a problem I didn't know existed, but I'm going to look and see just how dirty mine is and may do the same. Thanks!
 
I would be interested at a picture or even a blue print how.

I always need to wipe that area down and even brush up a bit due to the grim...oh they are there for sure...
 
Sounds like there's a market for a front fenda-extenda.

Hmmmmm.

I haven't been out to look at mine "in the flesh," but I thought the OP was referring to the rear fender. :think:

As my Stornello, while a bit of pretender (like me :giggle:), actually goes off-pavement a bit, I'd better check on the potential problem and fix.

P.S. While I have a fendaextenda on my Griso's front and like the looks, not sure it really keeps anything off the lower front end.
 
Yup this easy mod. Is for the front edge of the rear fender. One again sorry about lack of photos . Cut a piece of thin cardboard 7"x4" & set it on the swing arm right where rear fender begins ,if ya press it against the fender mounting fasteners you've just made a template! I used rubber roofing material .remove 2 fasteners slip newly made piece over studs w/ a couple fender type washers ,I had some plastic ones leftover from a mudflap kit,reinstall nuts & your clutch arm & related pivot parts will thank you!took me about as much time to type this as it did to Fab it! Why yes I do type w/ one crooked finger!
 
Yup, aren't fenda extenders a hard plastic? If I remember the one on my BMW was,because of the swing arm I chose a quite flexible rubber . Also,heaven forbid if it came adrift I'd prefer a smallish piece of rubber jetsam vs. a stiffer piece. Just sayin
