We could offer the same type fender for the R3.

Here's a photo of one of our fenders.
It's installed on a Honda VTX 1800 C with a 240
rear tire kit which we also offer.

mate...that is a seriously awesome looking bike - and i love the rear fender

Rear Tire

Wow, some great looking bikes. I'm a fan of an open rear end especially to show off

the 240. I like it so much I keep my 1997 Speed Triple Upto date, with single sided

swing arm which equals wide open, ride whenever I need a fix.

here is my version.

hello all.
I used a rear light from a Harley VRod Muscle, and I had to fabricate the mounting points myself, including cutting down and welding the fender support, inside the fender.
It is now welded to the inside of the fender, for maximum strenght.
The turn indicators are in the rear light too.
