Nice solution to your mishap. It does look really good although the fit of your painted fender really ties in with the rest of your build. You're a winner either way
Thanks. I'm still trying to figure it out. The carbon fiber fender does give the bike a different vibe. I was telling Ryan this afternoon that I do think I like the look better with the tour pack. But also like the feel and handling of the bike without it. The good news is... detachable!! LOL
Thanks! I appreciate that. TBH I was a little iffy at first. But once I got the mid-frame air deflectors on, that really tied it all together. The photos at the end of the video are after I put the air deflectors in.
I do! After about 13k miles, it still looks brand new and I haven't experienced any issues. I don't recall the weight difference. But it is significantly lighter.
[sarcasm] Now all you have to do is replace everything plastic, with carbon fiber. Imagine the weight savings as your wallet gets lighter. [/sarcasm] Seriously though, it looks great. Take care Percy, ride safe.
LOL! Yeah. No, man. I poured cement down that rabbit hole before I even ordered this. Not even a jackhammer can open that thing up to crawl down into. :-) Thanks!!

That looks really good. Flows very well with your bike’s color scheme.

Glad you're happy with it man! Great video.
Looks great but with that colour (which looks awesome) I prefer the coloured fender
Still like it? How much weight did you save?

yea their nice better be for 500.00
It was a no-brainer for me. The painter wanted $500 to re-do my fender. That's what made me look to do the carbon fiber replacement.
