Just my $.02, but unless you're planning on a cafe or street tracker type solo seat, don't do a FEK because with a dual seat your bike will look all FEKKED up.

I went to a Thruxton rear fender to "streamline" my Bonneville a bit.
Still looking for a silver Thruxton/Scrambler front fender.

You will also get rain, mud and debris spray up your back

I really like the look of that shorter Thruxton fender, maybe i can find one in somewhat the same color red. I just really dont want to have to get it painted, because the my $200 mod turns into a $400 mod.

 

Check out the Maund fender eliminator kit. I like that it has the brake light and the blinkers all in one unit. I think it looks great on a bonny w/ a regular seat. Here's an example I found on the ol' internets:

 

I get the $$ deal. I found the silver Thruxton part on Ebay for $100.00 shipped.
If I can't find a used front I'm thinking about trimming my front down and having it painted.
A brand new OEM Thruxton silver front fender is near $200.00.

Izzat Cranberry color unique to Bonnevilles?


Rex

 

I'm pretty sure the cranberry was unique to just the 2012 Bonne, but if they had a Thruxton fender in a close match, i would just buy it straight from Triumph if it was only $200. Might give them a call.

 

Have you considered bobbing your existing fender and painting it? The rattle can of paint and one can of clear coat wont cost you that much. You're not painting all that much so you dont have to be some master auto painter to make it look good. I did my tank, fenders and side covers and they came out pretty damn nice. You can get the cranberry red paint in a can.
Just another option to consider

 

You can get the cranberry red paint in a can.

Actual Triumph colors are available in bomb cans? Where from? That's what I need!
The touch-up paint shown in the parts fiche are small bottles with a brush in the cap.

You can pretty easily make your own fender eliminator using aluminum plate. Easy to cut and bend. Patterns are available online, but it's not complicated to figure out without a pattern. I did it and used a tiny Acerbis taillight that's nearly invisible when the bike is off.

I like the idea of bobbing the stock fenders. Very easy to do with masking tape and a reciprocating saw. I used car door edging around the rough edges, but you could sand and paint them just as well.

 

Thanks for the link.
I'll check them out.

EDIT: Color Rite has a bomb can refinish package for $80.00, so it looks as though my front fender is gonna get shortened and painted silver (code MH) over the winter.

 

For those who wish not to cut up their stock fender and/or lack the fabrication skills to make their own tail tidy, might I suggest the following Mini Rear Fender with LED Tail Light. The plastic fender tucks-up nice to the frame and provides more splash protection than the flat sheet designs. There is enough side profile to be able to add turn signals is you chose. And the LED lamp is very bright.

Maybe I'm lucky but I was able to scoop up a thruxton fender for my T-100 for $65 on eBay, same colour as my bike so I didn't have to paint it. I might bob it in the future but it's pretty good for now.

Mark where you want your fender. Tape it off. Dremel tool. Take your time. Smooth it out with a file. Bob's your uncle. Price...free.

 

This isn't my bike but I got the same fender eliminator for £50 on gumtree (like the UK Craigslist)
