Magnesium-colored fenders?

[Xyzzy]

The build tool on the Can-Am web site allows you to add optional magnesium-colored fenders to the magnesium-colored F3-S, but it doesn't update the build picture to show what they look like. I can't find any pictures on Google, either.

Does anyone have this mod?

I think the lighter-colored fender will add more detail and contrast to the tires instead of looking like a dark blob, but the fenders are $250 so it would be a gamble without seeing it first.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how much this will help but the prettiest Spyder on the forum in my opinion is JC's. He had it painted Blue Flame and painted the fenders as well. When I climbed on my pitiful black fendered bike yesterday it made me kind of sad. I may have a new winter project.

Black it out Tommy

Black it ALL out. Plastidip the body, plastidip and glossifier on the framework. Guaranteed to look Badass. All for fifty bucks. :thumbup:

That's a bad looking ride to be sure coz but I can't give up my orange frame.

My last four trucks were two black F150 FX4's, one dark grey F150 FX4 and a blue F150 Raptor. My new truck is a white Ram Longhorn with chrome bumpers. I'm trying to present myself as a kinder, gentler person.

:agree: But if everyone did what he did; I wonder how it might make him feel? :shocked:

That blue Spyder is nice looking.

I went ahead and ordered the fenders. Hopefully they look awesome!

No one is talkin about copying him,, I was just paying him a compliment

It should look sweet,, post a pic when you get them mounted..

Like an innovator. I doubt anyone else would go full tilt and switch colors to Blue Flame. I believe he will always stand in out a crowd.

I agree. I would have done that had I seen it was an option.

I didn't say that you were...

Please do not everyone copy my bike... Then I would have to spend more $$ to be different again....

Thanks for the complements though.

You may see some painted fenders but the Blue Flame will always separate you from the crowd. Unless they offer it in '16. Then you're going to have to pull out your wallet again.

The fenders arrived today. They took me about 3 hours to install, but I work slow. I think I need to put the black stripe on the hood to finish the look.

That really looks great Xyz. How did you get them? I don't see them in the accessory catalog. Are they listed as a regular replacement part?

You know the new titanium Akrapovik would bring everything together. I may take that old chrome one off your hands to help you out.

They are in the accessory catalog but the listing is very small. They don't come with instructions but they are pretty easy to figure out. See the attached picture.

They don't show it as standard on the F3 but I guess you don't the the required support bracket?
