Added the Fenda Extenda. Using the all weather super duty 3M double sided tape for now. May or may not punch a couple of holes for screws.

I had my front fender off the bike and on the workbench to install the Extenda. I stuck the Extenda to the fender with the supplied tape after cleaning the fender with solvent. I got called away to work and did not return to the project until a day later. Upon my return the Extenda was gone! I found it on the floor a few feet away. The supplied tape did not even secure the Extenda under it's own weight for 24 hours.

Cleaned, lubed and adjusted the chain. Then I gave the bike a thorough clean, detail and wax. Looks like the weather is gonna be awesome for riding next week! I will be performing my 600 mile service this week also.
Road it 1000 miles today. Now I am going to sleep.
Did the 600 mile service. Filter was damn tight, and three wrenches kept slipping. Finally the Autozone guys idea of drilling a hole and using the screw driver worked. Initially was worried about the metal shavings (which is normal) I was in the oil pan, but later realized that it came from my drilling. It took about 2oz more than 2.6Qt though, may be due to my shaking of the bike with filter and drain plug off.
Did notice couple of things, my battery strap was not connected, second head of the lower fairing screw is almost stripped, which i thought is strange for a screw to strip after first use.
I took my father for a ride. He's 75 and went blind about 3 years ago, the last time he was on a bike was riding with me on my '83 Interceptor about 1986. He was so nervous he was shaking and said he didn't know if he could even sit on the back because he can't see. I told him to just hang on like he use to and keep his body limber and following mine. For the first few minutes his helmet banged the back of mine with every upshift, but after about 3 miles I could hear him laughing. 20 mile ride and when he got home he carried my spare helmet into his bedroom and put it on his nightstand, saying he needed a place for "his" helmet. I guess I got a new riding partner.
Aww, Cutter J. Duke, that was really nice. I could not begin to imagine how much that meant to him, to experience that again. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
Thanks Lee but I think I found what I needed around the house.
