I am going to be removing my Stealth 2.0 fender because it doesn't work well with the air ride. I'm looking at the Metricks SLR Rear Hugger Fender as a replacement, but I don't want it in orange. I want it in the black I have. I see the option to order it in "Black Pearl" so I assume that's what the black is called, but want to make sure. One never knows if there is a difference in the blacks from year to year. Thanks.
What is the black color called on a 2017 SLR Orange Madness?

I think it's technically called tuxedo black but yes black pearl is the same. Unless somebody has info that contradicts that.

I think the question should now be...
Does the Metrick hugger fender work with the squat to ground air ride?
That fender has a frame and bracket mount near the swing arm hinge point that may not play well.
The Polaris fender may not be the best choice, cha-ching wise, but it does have the open area to the rear plastics.
Somebody with real world experience with air rides and rear fenders want to jump in here???

I have that very same question in to slingmods.com. I've been waiting for them to answer, they will.

Yes I put the question to him also the other day. It takes him a while to answer questions - he's very busy.

In Florida, the black is called LOVE BUGS. Good thing they only appear twice a year for a week or two each visit.

heh heh. I was down there once during the season, the rental car was disgustingly full of their juice.
I just got back from Lake George NY and it was still black fly season there. I just finished up with some awful bites from Maggie Valley, then the black flies got me. My face is almost double my normal size. Highly allergic. Bugs and I do not get along.
