I wanna know how you did your rear fender. Where did you get the rear from?

I like the front.

Those are some good looking fenders, and I'm not even a fender fan! I'll bet that front fender helps keep water spray from the road from running down the clutch cable adjuster into your primary. Nicely done.

Are you not going to miss all the road grime and the wet stripe on your back, I like the rear fender too.

the rear fender only keeps the underside of the rear tail section clean! i still get small gravel & sand when dry & a nice "skunk" stripe when riding in the rain ! the rear fender is a A.S.B. carbon fiber piece ,i trimmed the rear most part of it off (about a 1/2") and then painted it! (egads ! sacriledge !)

"and then painted it! (egads ! sacriledge !)"


Man, that's the ONLY way to sport carbon fiber! CF looks like a black burlap sack... very NOT sexy. I think too many people buy it for the illusion of "street cred" rather than it's actual function.

Y'know, like: "Look at me! I got carbon fiber! That means I'm fast!"

Very nice job! Love the stripes!
