Can anyone help me out please ! :confused:

I'm thinking of buying a carbon front mudguard for my yellow curvy sv, but not sure it will look right?

Mike has some kind of aftermarket mudguard thats yellow and has a carbon look strip a few inches wide down the centre, it looks pretty good IMO.

I have a blue curvy and a black mudguard, which I think looks good.

Actually I think Mikes is a Carbonfibre one which has been painted. Looks well cool IMO. Like Ducati SPS's. Discreet but so desirable.

Really? Cos someone else had a blue one with the carbon fibre bit. They must sell them like that then?

I'll post a pic tomorrow of the mudguard, it's yellow with a carbon stripe down the middle. It was on the bike when I bought it so can't give you much detail about it sorry

Well, looking at that pic, I stand by my original thought. It must be a carbon one painted over. If it were a stick on strip then it would have a defined edge. I really do like that.........................in blue of course though.:D

Yep, looks like it Pete.
Why not go the whole hog and get a black mudguard? :p

I bid for one on ebay, but it went over the 50quid I was prepared to pay for it.:(

Mine cost about that. But its crap :p heheh. My fender extender is about 10 times tougher and better quality than the mudguard itself :o
