Hello everybody,

The gravel comming from the front wheel of my Griso 1100 is sand blasting the paint away from the engine oil pan :( ...
Any good hints on how to avoid this?

Thx guys...
 
Have had the same problem. thought i could remove the old paint with paint remover but it's 2 component paint so nothing happened. cleaned it up and repainted it during winter stop.

You could mount a fender extender i guess.
 
not too bad actually...

I fitted a fender extender long after thepaint was blasted away. It keeps most of the road crap off, doesn't look out of place, cos its such a close fit, but life before the extender was never a problem.
 
Hello guys,

In fact it looks much better than I expected....
Is this a original Guzzi extender or is it comming from some accessory market company?
 
I bought mine direct from Pyramid Plastics UK.

The fitting is very good but I am not too impressed by the self tapping screws and double sided tapes that came with the fender extender.

I replaced them with 3M double sided tape and button head inner hex bolts coupled with nylock nuts. A little silicon sealant on the inside joint/edge will stop muddy water seeping past it.

I just realised they have "carbon fiber" version now.

A simple solution to the paint problem is to touch it up with a rattle can. It's no as if this is a high visibility area. I touch up all my bikes, it's called detailing. Fastener centers can rust or oxidize but a dab of black or silver makes it good again.
