"Street Fighters" has a sale for the front fender extender and free shipping on Fender Extenders:
Yamaha - Fenda Extenda by Pyramid Plastics
Having had one on my FJR, I liked how well it worked. I just ordered mine for the FZ and will be installing it next week. Suggested install is with tape and screws. I will be installing (as I did with my FJR) with ABS glue (No screws), see the below link:
FJRTech.com - Dedicated to the FJR1300 Enthusiast! Its for an FJR but the install is the same...
This particular branch I ordered from is in Stuart, Florida. :thumbup:
11-27-12, some tips:
Just took the clamps off the fender, came out real good, seams are all tight, very, very sturdy (it sat clamped overnight). Looks stock actually, just black...
I taped off EVERYTHING I didn't want glue on, taped padding on the "C" clamps I used so I didn't scratch/cause any damage to the fender.
I used REGULAR PVC glue used for plumbing (from Lowes). Acetone to clean the inside of the fender, same for the "to be glued" section of the extender. And no, I didn't rough it up... Figured PVC pipe to a coupler, all is smooth. On my FJR I didn't rough up the inside either, stayed there as long as I had the bike, up to 145MPH..
*Big tip, apply glue, medium thickness to JUST THE EXTENDER, not to the fender... Position where you want it, had a friend apply the C clamps quickly before the glue set up.. My FJR, I put on an extender, same way but glued the fender too. If you looked real close, it just began to warp the plastic fender ever so slightly. The FZ has NO warpage and NO SCREWS....
Here's the installed extender:
