One thing to be aware of with the wrap fender is how low does it go ? Mine had a very tight clearance in a drive on wheel chock and over the winter my tire lost air pressure and the fender contacted the chock and damaged the bottom edge. It wasn't a disaster but still pissed me off. I trimmed the bottom of the fender off a little and repainted it.
I trailered mine, at about the 4,080 mile mark, of my trip, to and from, Yellowstone. I ended up with a slight scuff on the leading edge of the lower right tip. I filed it, with great care, and put a dab of touch-up paint there. Hopefully, I caught it in time, so as to not turnout like yours. I also chipped the paint, on top of my fender, when my headlight trim, fell off, and on to it. So far, that touch up is holding fine. And that was from last year. I was actually thinking about having it repainted at some point. The bike is over 8 years old now, with almost 50k on it. I guess I can’t keep it looking new, and keep riding it. But, I do try
Do the wrap fenders create more clearance than stock fenders w extensions between the fender and the fairing?
I dont want to invest in this and risk bottoming out.

Old thread resurrected. Sometimes it's best to start a new thread.
I don't even understand your question, pardon my ignorance.
I have a 2012 SG. I bought an aftermarket steel fender and had it painted locally.
I bought the fork mount spacers and necessary hardware, then installed it myself.
It turned out exactly what I wanted.
All said and done, it cost me about $500 bucks.

Thank you everyone for the recommendations. Been busy the last week or so. I appreciate it. Going to get this fender ordered. I may need to trim the chock for my toy hauler so I don't get the boo boo that Rizzo had to deal with. That sucks man. Glad you got it sorted though.

Yes, trim the wheel chock lock plate. It comes off very easily. I trimmed mine using a die-grinder and cut-off wheel but an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel will work also.
