Title: front fender fitment question Post by: sofadriver on December 18, 2011, 09:17:22 AM I'd like to put a black front fender on my red on red '08 S2r 1000 but I don't want to paint my pristine red fender.
I'm not concerned with an exact replacement, just one that fits. There's a ton of various Duc fenders on e-bay but which ones will fit ??? I know that any fender for Ohlins forks won't work. Or early Monsters. Or Hypers. Or Multi's. A Sport 1000 fender & bracket would be cool but there's no fork protection. I'm sure a lot of SBK fenders would fit but they're really short on the rear end and I'd like better coverage (open belts). It looks like an ST fender (non "S" model) would give good rear protection and cover the fork legs, too, but I'm not sure they will fit. Anyone know for sure? Any other options? Thanks.

I just got a carbon from shift-tech and the gloss finish is perfect. From what I can see the early Monster fenders will fit. I have both an 02 and 06 and they are interchangeable. I can't speak of the carb models though.

Title: Re: front fender fitment question Post by: korey on December 19, 2011, 12:14:58 AM I vote SBK fender. Although I personally think they're too long, so I chopped mine shorter and added the holes on the sides too. Off a 996

korey - Dude, that can looks great! Is that just a shortened Leo Vince? I just lost an e-bay auction for a $10 996 fender. Watched the clock tick down to 3 seconds and hit enter to submit my bid but forgot you have to confirm your bids. I hit "confirm" but missed it by about 1 second. Darnit!

I did however modify the stock belt covers so that they only cover the pulleys, that way I get a little protection and it still looks good. And yeah, it's a Leo Vince slip-on that I cut the can in half. That stinks about the fender, you'll be able to find another one. I got mine for like 10 bucks shipped, but I had to repaint it.

New and undrilled fiberglass race fender. Payment was in our standard currency - "Ahh, just buy me a beer" (neither one of us drink) [thumbsup] |
