Painting a Fenda Extenda to match the bike. Yay or Neigh ? - SV650.org

DarrenSV650S · 03-03-08, 09:41 PM

I've got a new fenda extenda and all my sv's panels are all going in for a spray. So I'm wondering whether to colour match the extenda as well, or keep it black.
The rest of the bike is silver, so I thought the black might look a little silly. But if it was all silver it might make the mudguard look huge...

Opinions?

Law has had his fender extender painted to match his black body work and looks ok, wouldn't even notice it to be honest

I'm thinking of doing this for my front end. I'm going to use some body filler in the gap to make it flow so it won't look like an added extra. Yey, for me!

I recently painted mine blue even though I have a yellow bike . Its covered in blue anodised sniney bits so blends in quite well .

Now that sounds like a plan! Did you pop rivet yours?

I prefer it black on my yellow curvey, unless you're looking for it you don't even notice it's there.

Ive just had mine plastic welded smoothed and painted in my new colour scheme - looks like a larger factory item and ties in nice with my belly pan - looks a bit awkward without the pan though!

Bike still at the paint shop pics to follow soon - ive been busy the last couple of months starting to come together nicely now though.
