I like the larger fender much better. While I like Hank Hill I wouldn't plaster him on my bike. I like the wrap around fender but IMO it just doesn't look right on your bike. It's your bike so go with what you like. It's a sweet scoot either way.

I like the larger fender for two reasons. Better balance and the white on top matches what you have on the rest of the bike (fairing, tank, covers and bags).

Large one does the trick for me. Nice paint jobs either way.

+1 on this, the white on top flows with the paint job better

Skinny with Mr Hill. You have upgraded the Wheel, gone to one rotor, SHOW IT OFF. It looks just fine because it's overall length flows nicely.
The edge of the fender rides very nicely in contrast to the tire bead/wheel edge.
