SEBSPEED Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think it looks good without one, and it's not meant to be a daily rider. Forks are 900RR, so a stock fender is out of the question because of the size. It would take lots of creative trimming to make it look good. What say you? EDIT - here's a pic with a fender... sorry, I'm not a photoshop wizard! Did it in white to make it easy to see, and it would have cutouts w/ gold mesh like the wheels. Bike will likely be metallic black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmythecop Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I think a cut down fender that doesnt go rearward of the forks. or none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer Madness Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hugger and shredded fender. Won't the DMV down there require you to have them? :blink: Gotta' love that ass end kicked up to the sky Seb! :491: Greg :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't the DMV down there require you to have them? :blink: Gotta' love that ass end kicked up to the sky Seb! :491: Greg :cool: Actually, I dunno if it's required or not! I have a tiny piece of what used to be a 900RR fender that I can put on there if required... The tail is definitely at a higher angle than it would be on the Duc 1098(the bike it came off of); that's why I "painted in" a raised area at the front, to ease the transition to the tank. I think the "boyz" will thank me for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted September 21, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2009 How about a trimmed down 900 fender, just something to keep the crud from flinging all over, something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 How about a trimmed down 900 fender, just something to keep the crud from flinging all over, something like this: It would need different styling, for sure. But it's a possibility. I added another MS Paint pic above with a rough idea of what I might use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JamieDaugherty Posted September 21, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm going to say 'yes' to a fender. I've never really liked the looks of bikes without one. I think even a stock 900RR fender would look better than none at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEBSPEED Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 I've got an 05 600RR fender I can chop if necessary, but I'm leaning towards naked front wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer ron_al Posted September 22, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted September 22, 2009 Personally, I have always liked the minimal front fender on the Original Ducati MH900E bike. I think this pic shows it well. And this pic shows how it is only attached on one side: Just my $0.02, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VF1000RS Posted September 22, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted September 22, 2009 I`m thinking something starting like VFRCapn`s pic but sharper and pointier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted September 22, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted September 22, 2009 I like the looks of it without the fender, but I'm an engineer, and the engineer in my says the fender is a good idea. and after actually looking at where the fender is going to end up, I don't think it will do much, so voting fenderless.
