Fender Extenders from R&G

Fender Extenders: A Smart Winter Upgrade for Real Roads

If you ride year-round—or even just commute through the shoulder seasons—you already know the ugly truth about winter: wet pavement, gritty lanes, and that fine spray of road debris that seems magnetically drawn to your bike’s vulnerable parts. R&G is leaning into that reality to kick-start 2026, rolling out hundreds of new applications for its Fender Extenders lineup. R&G Racing is targeting a wide range of machines, from the BMW M 1000 XR to the Honda GB350S, with coverage that now includes most modern machines.

Fender Extenders reduce what your front tire throws at everything behind it. On wet and gritted roads, that spray doesn’t just dirty your bike—it can chip, abrade, and generally punish front-mounted coolers, downpipes, and fairing panels over time. R&G’s approach is protective rather than cosmetic, but it’s the kind of functional add-on that tech-minded riders appreciate because it solves a real problem without requiring a full teardown or an expensive parts list.

R&G’s Fender Extenders are made from durable ABS plastic, which is exactly what you want for a part that lives in the line of fire—tough, resilient, and suited to repeated exposure to water and road grit. Riders can choose between a black finish or a carbon fibre effect finish, which lets you match the extender to your bike’s look without making it feel like an afterthought. It’s worth noting that these extenders have been a popular part of the R&G catalog since their launch in 2016.

The big news for 2026 is just how wide this update spreads. Along with the headliners, R&G calls out fitments for bikes like the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX, Kawasaki Z900, and Yamaha MT-10 SP—and the “and much more” wording suggests this is a broad net designed to catch a lot of new and recently updated models. For riders who keep a close eye on protection hardware the same way they track suspension updates or electronics suites, this kind of fitment expansion is meaningful.

Fender Extenders: Installation Options, Availability, and What to Expect

Each of the new Fender Extenders kits ships with plastic rivets for riders who want a secure mechanical fit. That’s the old-school, “set it and forget it” method, and it’s still the right answer for anyone who rides hard in all conditions and doesn’t want to think about it again. But R&G is also including new high-quality adhesive pads for riders who prefer a no-drill installation. Clear, comprehensive fitting instructions are included with each kit. The new kits are available from R&G now, so if your bike is one of the newly supported applications, you can add real-world protection immediately rather than waiting for the season to change.
