I really wish the Icon's fenders were painted yellow aluminum! It's the one thing that puts me off about the Icon. Yes, you can buy the aluminum fenders, but they are not painted and who is going to match the exact color of the Ducati Yellow? Why do they do this to us...

I just would prefer metal over plastic.

I also dislike plastic on bikes, some bikes of today would remind me of a kids toy (just a lot larger)

I will get a set of alloy ones. I spoke to my dealer and said why are they advertised as alloy and chromed. Why do you chrome ally. Why can it not be just brushed.. I would like a yellow and part alloy ones. I may black centre stripe my yellow ones to match the tank strip I ordered. But in vinyl not paint.

actually a reputable painter will be able to replicate the Ducati yellow if you bring the tank/bike as sample first...

I agree. The plastic used on the front fender is also very thin. It feels about at thick as a milk carton. I gave it a gentle squeeze and it easily buckled. I think they had to cut a few corners to make the price point and this is definitely one of those items. They probably assume that is one of the first items that customers will change.

Just be glad that they didn't make make the gas tanks out of plastic >

I'm sure you could order the Ducati yellow paint from Ducati if you want it. Might not be cheap though.

The aluminum fenders as accessory are not chrome plated from what I can tell. They definitely have a brushed/raw aluminum look to them...not shiny at all.

That's what I thought and why I asked them. Confused or what. Hope not anyway as they are on the list. My bike no doubt will be collecting most parts for a mix match of bikes when I fancy a change.

I wonder if they are plated to stop any surface corrosion?

The aluminium rear fender is from the classic model so it's longer than Icon one.

I don't know if it will be possible to have just the aluminium front fender in after market.
