Sumo's 250 fury gets a facelift

[RedspawnSilver]

Huh, been staring at these pics for about a week now, my initial reaction to those pipes is that I disliked them... but, the more and more I look at the fender and pipes... the more I like them... Just making a side note observation is all...

Yea, that is interesting about that rear fender issue... Makes me kind of hate that damn fender bracket that we have underneath there... But, I honestly have not noticed as much as others on here and think I ride the bike enough to totally forget about the rear fender in general.

Maybe we should all have a rear fender kind of day, like one of these weekends where everybody on this forum just takes off that back fender and analyzes or visualizes another way to solve this particular problem, then throws all of their idea's into a rear fender thread "pot"... without killing the lines and with something of a more dramatic effect of the fender issue.

But more on topic to my other post, was more talking about the front fender and how nice it actually looked, the Sumo one... lol

So basically we need someone with the 250 kit to slip on the stock wheel and take lots of pictures. Any takers?

About an inch off each side doesn't seem like it'd be too bad...


If there isn't much of a difference, it's a relatively cheap fix. Turns and license plate bracket would have to be added in though...

I'm all for a new fender with some style.

It's only 3/4" wider then the stock fender on each side and actually narrower in the front by the same 3/4" on each side. The chicken strips on that 250 pictured is roughly a 200mm, you can photoshop it or just image what it would look like in your head.

Wouldn't look much different than stock if you ask me.

Sumo, you think you could estimate how much a kit would run with the rear fender with struts, turn signals with brake module, and the side mount bracket? Does $1200 sound about right?

$1203.50 is what the price comes up to (Unpainted Fender)
I may be willing to give someone a deal, for the cause, if they were willing to call me on this.

If this looks right with the stock tire, you're gonna be getting alot of my graduation money
