The HOFMANN DESIGNS Carbon Fiber Shorty Fender is a 100% hand-crafted component manufactured in the USA, designed to replace the factory OEM unit weighing 4.97 lbs. with a lighter assembly weighing 0.806 lbs. This specific shorty configuration is distinct from the mid-length variant, which weighs 1.05 lbs. and extends 3 inches further in the front and 5.5 inches further in the back compared to the shorty model.
Gloss-finished versions of this fender include black fender spacers as part of the package. The manufacturer explicitly notes that this product is not recommended for use with Shinko 777 120/70-21 tires. The design serves as a direct replacement for standard factory plastics, offering a reduced mass profile for the rear of the motorcycle.
