So prob going to go pick this up on sat. Its new old stock and the price I think , can not be beat. $925 out the door. So that affords me to get better fenders since the ones on the 2011 model suck. Do any of you guys have this bike and what fenders are you running. I had some sks long boards but I think when I let my hands off my other bike it would tend to wobble because of the air turbulence on the front mud flap. Any and all suggestions considered and thanks for the input! Oh also putting a rack on it.

That's a really nice bike for a good price. Wish I had one.

For fenders, I have these on two bikes, no complaints. Really like the full coverage and mud flaps.

I have been looking for a few months and this is about the best deal I can find for what I want. Those kinda look like the sks long boards I had.

Those look super excellent. Long flaps give better coverage. You want fenders to be as long as possible. Flaps are better than fenders that are hard at the ends, because it makes collapsing, moving, and carrying the bike easier.

Interesting to hear about the wobbling issue, never experienced it. But i have the Longboards mounted pretty close to the rubber. Or am i just too slow?

I like to think it was the bike, I did like them a lot. The only thing that I guess I also did not like having full fenders was the fact that they were like sails. lol I was hoping someone already put a set of fenders on so I could see what looks good. I def going black I think.
