Rear fender opinions

[skillzman1]

OK folks...I need some ideas here.
I went with the hidden battery and open side cover area on my build...esentially theres nothing in the old battery/airbox area.I like the minimalistic look...but I think there should be some sort of fender/shield to keep debris/water from spraying the pod filters and everything else.
Not that I plan on riding it down dirt roads or in the rain....but you know how it goes.

Any ideas for a shield that wont look odd?

is this better, doing it on me tracker

i like that idea. iv been toying with putting the original plastic piece back in mine but it looks to modern. i'm going to try a longer fender that wraps down farther like your doing. i would black yours out so it's not as visible if your going with the sport tracker theme. just my opinion.

how about a plexiglass shield?

 

[drewpy]

that's fine till you ride it

then you can't clean coz it'll scratch, love the front fender on that, instant MOT failure in UK

I thought about using plexi....and figured it would look crummy after a few rides....but if I painted it silver or black it may be doable.

 

[drewpy]

you can get coloured plexi I'm sure

 

[isigt]

It only needs to be fine once, when you take the pics

Nah, but i get your point. Would look lame after a while.
I think you should keep the open space as much as possible. Unless it's clear plexi you're covering it with. (here he goes again) that's my .

 

[skillzman1]

well plexi is relatively cheap...so I could just replace it when necessary!!

Why not modify the OG plastic one to be short and sporty like a CBR 600RR
