Anyone know if the striped fenders are available? I've seen them on a black C5 Classic as well, but can't remember where:

The stripes were added to the stock fenders. This was a modification designed by Scooter Bob at CMW and is no longer available. Paint them on is probably the current best answer.

I believe the chrome C5 Specials have sticker stripes on their fenders.  You could probably order the stickers as parts.  You'd need to get the part numbers of course.

better still - buy a spray can of plasti-dip paint and spray it on.
when you get sick of it - remove it. no damage and back to original colour.

Thanks guys for all the replies - I guess I wasn't too specific with the original question, striped fenders on the C5 Classic. I recently sold a C5 Chrome, yes that model does have stripes on the fender.

My quandry right now, is I regret selling my C5 black/chrome, and am looking to replace it. Right now, it's either another black/chrome, or, a black C5 Classic. Poking through the many internet pictures I ran across some pics of the C5 Classic with the white striped fenders, and wondered if that was specific to a certain year, etc. Motomataya put that question to rest, they weren't available from the factory that way.

I have an chance to pick a new, 'left-over' 2012 C5 black/chrome for $500 under list .... tempting.

Do it.  If you love the chrome the straight black will never do it for you.
