The bike that led me to the SR500 is the Deus "Grievous Angel".
The spartan look of the bike just does it for me. A large part of that look is the lack of fenders. My bike is used for a daily 10 mile commute, and where I live rain is the norm so fenderless isn't very practical.
Some newer sport bikes have a short rear fender that attaches to the swing arm and really hugs the rear tire.
Anyone ever see such a thing on an older bike like the SR?
A bobbed cafe or flat tracker seat and a light weight carbon or GRP "hugger" fender might look good and keep the stripe off the back as well.
