Wow, this is sweet! I've been searching for months for a decent-looking rear fender for my 500. Maybe I'm just too picky, but none of them were worth spending the money on. We've looked at mudguards for the rear, we've thought about cutting the stock fender, and we've even thought about fabricating our own fender. This is the best one I've seen so far - now I gotta check to see what the hubby thinks! Thanks for sharing!
