I don't have any experience with this one. But I think it's been around a while to not very good reviews. Only useful if you keep a skinny rear tire.
I made my own from tinfoil but I was getting a lot of alien interference so I had to remove it.
While lots of the fender on the market look nice... They don't keep the rooster tail down (don't come down low enough behind the tire) and don't keep the dirt and mud off the pack of the Slingshot. I have an Assault fender from the early days --- no longer made. The bracing was not strong enough and it would break between 8,000 and 10,000 miles. (ask me how I know) one of our member redisigned the bracing and I had several made. Holding well on mine. It does keep the dirt off and the rooster tail down.
Looks like a basic raw Metrick's fender... spray painted,
Hardware the same.
Installation video
You may or may not have to drill and tap...
This is the video for that.
Yep, I got the Metrick Fender for a pretty penny in the early release.
The scariest part was fear of breaking the tap.
Can't speak of the quality of the fenders in your amazon link.
Suspect there might be cosmetic or irregularities not usable for high dollar sale sold under original brand name.
My first fenders were trailer fenders...they are cheap and just make few brackets ...
Here is a fender that will fit wide tires, you may have to drive a few miles to grind it to fit

Oh yeah, the Conestoga. Great, great Grandpappy had those.
You get what you pay for. Spend the $$ on the factory fender - it' worth it. Looks, safety, proper built, etc. Plus color matched.

Paramount Plastics rear fender: $600
Polaris fender: starts at: $749
vs: $160
If nearly an extra $600 is "meh" money to you, then you are very blessed. I can get alot of other accessories for that $600. That spread is just too big.
I have had the same fender on my Sling for 3 years. No problems at all. I did personalize it slightly, but just to suit my wants.
Painted with a rattle can to match body and eyelets inserted for taillights.
Bought from Ebay for 200. Brackets were bent hardware missing and zero help from seller but after a couple of hours it looks great. Paint was another 100
