    Did you remove the wheel and/or mudguard, or just stick it straight on?

    Grumpy there are plenty of adhesives on the market which will give an uber strong bond so, by using the recommended one you shouldn't have any fears about the things coming adrift. As you say you should be able to fit the thing without any dis-assembly.

    That's what I'm hoping!  :018:

    I wanted the guard off so yes I took the wheel out bud made it easier to glue fender on I am sure its possible to glue it on without removing the wheel but I like to fiddle  :028:

    The extenda and the glue has arrived, looks good, but it'll probably benefit the glue from being warmer...so as I'm not using Gwen at the moment it's on my 'to do' list...which is rather long....and Mrs Grumpy keeps adding things to it...but hey, it wouldn't be a list without things on it... :006:

    If you look very closely, you can see water dripping out from under the adjuster plate (not the best pic I've ever taken :001:)

    (Sorry, but you are not allowed to access the gallery)


    Only just noticed, there are drain holes drilled in the underside of the swing arm. I can only think there's so much water getting in there, that the drain holes can't let it escape fast enough :156:

    Where are the holes, Rob? I'll check Gwen's and make sure they are clear...and give them a squirt of WD40!

    They're on the underside, within a few mm of the back.

    I'd love to know where the water's getting in :027:
