• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone remove the rear fender extension on 20+ Spyder?

Have any of you removed the rear fender mud flap extension? Is it required to remove the rear wheel for tire changes.
I like to see some tire without having to lay on the ground.
Sort of like a fender delete. Is it a pain in the butt to remove. Thanks for any input.
 
Dunno what year all these earlier threads might be about, but the F3's haven't changed all that much, have they?? :dontknow: So maybe it'll help to check out the thread below, noting the pic in Lamonster's post in particular:

Badmotorf1nger also asked about them here:

He didn't get too much response, probably for the reason he gave in his opening post. But there are a couple of other threads too, altho they were posted a fair bit earlier than 2020; but apart from the T's & Ltd's, have the F3's really changed all that much?! :rolleyes:

Even if you might not get exactly the answer you're after; or even an answer to your specific question; it does always pay to do a bit of Searching first. :thumbup:
 
Thanks that is what I was looking for

Hello, I had posted in the other thread, "I like the looks after the mod" but as others have stated, it's gonna get messy. We both ride solo so I didn't think it would be an issue, it really is. If you ride in the rain, or after it has rained and the roads are still wet, you'll have a lot of extra cleaning on the rear end of the RT, your jacket and helmet. I would not have cut the bottom portion of my fender off if it not been misshapen, probably during shipping. Now I'm going to try and add an extension on to the fender, or I may end up purchasing replacements.

Older thread, but WTH, I did a baby step. Lined up some painters tape to shorten flap about 1.25" and took a snipper to shorten. I like it.

It's very easy to remove. Back out and remove the two philips head plastic pins, then just snap the fender extension forward until it releases from the barbs it is pressed on to on the upper flap. I just removed mine on my 2025 S2S to install the mudflap that comes with the trailer hitch. It has a slightly different shape on the right side so that the swingarm doesn't abrade on the mudflap.
