I like the black cafe fender man. The shorty fender looks nice, but on a different bike. Your bike has a cafe feel, the shorty fender has a scrambler feel. I do like it turned around, been debating doing that myself. I've been thinking that it would look nice if it were symmetric, short on both sides rather than having the long front or rear leg depending on how you mount it. That being said, the shorty fender in black wouldn't look bad by any means. Why not just go for it? If you don't like it, switch it.

Here's mine, forward for comparison.

Yeah, I'll probably just go for it. I already purchased it. Just like seeing what the board thinks. You've got some good taste Ferrealls. I had the hakofugu the correct way for months and I too wished it was symmetrical, that's why I tried flipping it and now going down another road with the shorty WM.

Eventually, I will get a lil' beefier tires. One size up. and I think that will help some too.
Have the fun for me is playing and experimenting with this bike until I get it just the way I want it.

I went a little next size up in the rear tire but stayed the same in the front. Moving to a 120/80-18 in the front is about a 5/8" difference in overall diameter. That's only 5/16" on the radii, but I was worried about losing clearance between the tire and fender in the front. My aggressive tires tend to pick up rocks and I didn't want to beat the heck out of the trailing edge. Pretty sure I could have gotten away with a 160 on the rear but didn't want to overburden the bead.

That's the way the bike looks now, but I too have a vision, it just constantly changes for some reason. Cafe seat, clip ons and an LED headlight in the works...

Definitely the black. Although the other might work if the side covers matched in color.

Thanks guys. I won't be selling either fender quickly, which was my original intention. I'll switch back and forth until I decide what "I" Like. WM Cowl will be going on next, maybe that will help with the decision.

I really like the Hakofugu short fender and want to put it on my bike to match the 2014 black tank and blacked out engine. But I can't seem to find it.

Anyone have a sense of where I can purchase?

Many thanks!

Have you tried Samurider or Japan Webike? If you can’t find it on either site, email Takashi san at Samurider. He will know whether they are available.

Is this it? https://www.samurider.com/?p=20003/#itemImage

If not, do what Cormanus says and email Mr. T at contact@samurider.com as he sells FUGU stuff: https://www.samurider.com/?page_id=25606

Just so you know, its just FUGU now. They dropped the first part.
