Has anyone got any experience with vented mudguards for the SV?

I'm looking to get a carbon one from Skidmarx to hopefully protect my forks a bit more... and to be a tart and match my carbon hugger. :wink:

The best one is by 2 wheel junkie:

It's not vented but covers the forks reasonably well. JHS are the UK distributors but seem to want a lot for it.

There may be some blokes quietly working away on a cheaper version.

They may have been supplied a sample SV mudguard and loads of sample pics by a forum member.

They may be weeks away from having the first prototype in plastic.....

I may be talking complete bollox....

I may be very interested in a cheaper version of the 2WJ one....... Wanna get one but its majorly pricey for what it is

Soon as I get mine and we've fitted it OK, I'll be letting you know where to get them.

Would you prefer vented or unvented?

I wanted to ask but it just seemed like too stupid a question.

Is purely for aesthetic reasons or is there a technical reason why it's good?

Purely for aesthetic reasons on an SV, also to differentiate between other aftermarket items.
A nice bit of mesh from B&Q and it's all good.

vented with some mesh would probably look quite good actually, but not too fussed.... just want a front mudguard that has something build in to protect the fork lowers

That was the plan, my fork lowers look like crap. The whole thing how this came about is a very long story but I'll leave that for the book. £29.99 at WH Smiths. DVD out for crimbo.......
