Make Your Own Rear Fender Extension

Get a piece of flat plastic, about 1/8" thick. Cut it to 6½" by 10". Attach it to your rear fender with double stick tape and machine screws. This will help keep mud and dirt out of the internals of your bike.

Shown above is an installation of the California Scientific kit. $15 includes pre cut and drilled 1.5mm ABS plastic and removable pop rivets.

Some people prefer other brands of chemicals. But y'know, they can just make their own web page.

When cleaning a motorcycle windshield, use a *lot* of water, and only wipe up and down. If you wipe side to side, you'll eventually leave tiny scratches which reflect light into your eyes. Once a year or so, you can take your windshield off the bike and soak it in the tub in hot soapy water for a half hour.This will get all the bugs etc. off. It's a good idea to get a micro-fiber rag for your windshield.

MicroMesh Windshield scratch remover $18.50 fromaircraftspruce.com. If this doesn't get it out, you need a new windshield.

For small scratches, go to your local paint shop and get 3M plastic polish.
