Cool. I like the Monster Energy thing. I think that the bike looks better with the chain guard off.

I dont have a pipe as of yet, and the fender is a acerbis supermotard, i don't remember where from though i think they usually run about $35-$40 shipping included. Thanks for the comments.

Personally i feel this fender looks better with the stock sized wheels....

That acerbis fender is too small in diameter for the stock wheels, its a supermoto fender so its smaller....


This one doesnt look bad either.... but make sure you have seen it before you get it....


here is that fender again.....

Hee heee! What a dinky little front fender! [sm=dontgetit.gif]

Why would someone want a small front fender like that? As it is, the stock fender lets spray get past it and on to the top of the fender and the headlight.

Notice how he's running sportsman class rubbers.

The smaller sumo style fenders offer less wind resistance, and thusly help keep the bike stable at speed.

Probably uses his bike on the road moreso than off.
