    Default Help me decde a front fender for my bike

    So, I have a ktm 990 adventure and let me start out by saying I f***ing love this thing, its a truely incredible bike. BUT me being so offroad oriented when it comes to motorcycles, I HATE the low front fender. It is possible to mount a high one but I can't decide on the color...so post up your opinions please!
    My bike



    Fender options:
    Orange

    You can get all the fenders in this euro style:



    White


    Black


    I'm leaning towards the white but I'd like to hear your opinions!

    I vote either white or black to go with the rest of the bike. The orange would look too out of place IMO.

    Well, now that I look at the pics again, I noticed you have the orange shocks and that rail on it, so orange wouldn't look too bad. Thanks for making me double check, Larry lol. I like this idea ^ orange with black stripe.

    Orange with a black stripe would be sick but I'd be concerned about the paint chipping off since the fender has a lot of flex in it

    PC is a lot more flexible than paint, also more durable. I would go that route over paint being a flexible piece. I vote white or black, the orange stands out like a sore thumb imo

    Do a vinyl stripe..... that will heat and flex with the plastic...and if you F it up... peel it and replace it.
