IIRC at least one of the twins at the NEC show had the fender extender fitted. That makes it similar to my Thruxton, to which I had to fit an aftermarket one by Pyramid Plastics. It’s still way less effective than the full valance one on my C5, though such mudguard would look silly on the Thruxton and the Continental twin. Perhaps RE should make a less sporty version of the Twin with proper mudguards, rather like those on the old BSA A10 twin. Such a bike would suit those who ride in all weathers and, for a change, would be a triumph of function over form. What about a full rear chaincase too - another functional goodie fitted to the A10 of the fifties? Equally there should be a polished alloy blade guard version. To me the two types on offer are a bit too similar. The cooking one would be better with silencers parallel to the ground so that decent panniers could be fitted. I do hope that more practical versions are launched as well as the “me too” versions..
