After a day of polishing out the gouges left by a heavy handed tire tech, I have my wheels mounted on the spyder. I'll have to wait for another day to test them out. It's raining cats and dogs in the north KC area today. Thanks again to the folks at Ride Wright Wheels. :2thumbs:

Do you have any plans to modify the fenders for more coverage over the new tires? Just curious.

Wheels look great but I would ditch the fenders. :doorag:

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to ditch the fenders as suggested. I'll look around for something that looks more the part. I'd like to find a decent plastic or fiberglass fender that covers the whole tire. I have plenty of time since it will take a bit of time for my pocket book to recover.

I am sure you will be able to find something suitable; however, if you remove them I would avoid ryding in the rain. ;)

They are custom cut, but this is one of the designs they have ready to put in the CNC machine. However, they will take customer designs and make any wheel you choose. With your creativity and ability, I'm sure the possibilities are endless. :2thumbs:

Those look great. There's a spyder rim sales on ebay that makes wider fenders from fiberglass. They can have them painted, if you don't want to deal with that. You may want those fenders once you experience a puddle or rain. Too bad Ride Wright didn't make a black fender welt kit to go along, but it may look a little to Jeep with that anyways. I wish Arizona gravel or water wake wasn't a problem, mine would be gone too. I've given up on half helmets and had toooo many windshields replaced here already.

Second glance, these look like who you bought them from?

I think that ebay seller is Immortal Kustomz. They also get their wheels from Ride Wright, so I'm not sure what the mark-up is. The fenders don't look too bad, but I may have the guy that painted my Spyder give me a bid on some fenders. He builds all kinds of hot rods and custom cars. He fabricates with both metal and fiberglass, so I'm sure he can do the job.

I'm sure I'll be in the market very soon. I'm not too concerned about rain, since I'm a pretty fair weather rider, but rocks and other debris tossed in my direction doesn't sound too desirable.

I'll report how things go and post pictures once the weather works itself out. I'll be out of town all next week, so hopefully I can get it done next Saturday or Sunday.

Good find! I wish I could find something similar in the US, but I'm sure it won't be too much of a pain to import them. Thanks for the link. :2thumbs:

Already done! If you look at my profile pic, you'll see that I took the advice of several people that shared your sentiment. I think I'm going to explore the carbon fenders previously mentioned in this thread at some point. However, I've got other items higher up on my wish list. Kewl Metal 7" bars are next!

I just installed the 7" handlebars with the center console, best thing I've done so far. Kewl metal is a quality product.
