| Not all year front fenders are the same. More specifically (besides the color) it depends on whether your model has the front fender fork brace.
Partzilla shows a 2004 silver metallic front fender (61103-MCT-940ZD) for $158.30 with free shipping (Free ship over $149). Do check their site to compare your fender with what’s shown regarding that fork brace. There is also one for ~$70 on eBay but, even though it states will fit 2003-2011 it will only fit a fork brace fender.
The alternative would be to learn some new tupperware repair skills then repaint your newly repaired fender a “neutral” color, like black. Nobody will know or care.
Lots of good tupperware repair videos on YouTube. Oatey ABS plumbing cement (not PVC cement) is frequently available at Home Depot/Lowes. That and fiberglass drywall tape work very well. Or use, my personal preference, Plast-Aid. |

Oh ok that was easy enough till check it in the morning,I did another search there and it showed as Unavailable but I think it was a different part # https://i.imgur.com/IDepswW.png Edit,,I just checked there’s no brace under the fender The guy covered the damage with yellow and black caution tape but I can feel a few quarter size chips on the front of it,I think I’ll take the tape off and see what’s going on under there Ride Safely |

I found someone who can order NOS for $160 which is ok with me considering the ones on eBay are cracked or would need to be painted ,I’ll update this when it comes inĀ https://www.chapmoto.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwlumhBhClARIsABO6p-yvcDfKEwBW-LT1j_RFR2XwVFf7z7-FgHfgYQWmAghMalfhTSYnjjsaAiGOEALw_wcB |

| I looked for a replacement front fender with little success. I decided to repaint the scratched areas, (the rear part) and trimmed the paint edges with a small black trim strip. It's hidden for most of the time and it kinda looks OK.
I think at some point in the future I will repaint the entire fender. |

There’s plenty of new burgundy fenders around but the silver ones seem to be out of stock around here,I know there’s plenty in stock around the world it’s just a matter of making contact with the right person, Mine could have been repaired at a body shop then a respray but that would’ve been way more expensive than I am willing to spend on a fender, I talked to a local guy who wraps cars and bikes and I asked him to do a little sketch on what he can do with wrap on the Swing,I think a dark purple would look nice with the silver,the badging gotta |

| I just bought a right lower side over as mine is scratched quite a bit- none of the other online vendors have it but ChapMoto indicates it does. I’m actually expecting an email days away to tell me they can’t get it but we’ll see. |

I hope not,I asked CS and they said it’ll take them two weeks to get it so I figured it was just coming from overseas somewhere that has stock, |
