Default RE: question for guys without front fender

My fenderless front end picked up anything and everything. I ran with it off for about a year and put it back on a few months back. I just got tired of everyone's little A/C puddles splashing in my face all the time. I did pick up a few granules and tiny rocks in the face here and there too.

Whiff

Yep. Front tire picks up all sorts of little sandy crap on the road and throws it in all directions from the tire. You don't notice it during the day. At night you're seeing some of that crap getting flung up into your headlight beam. Looks sparkly. It's really a bitch riding in the rain when the tire throws dirty road water right up in your face. I now keep my fender on.

just like they said. there is a reason they put a fender on it from the moco. everything gets picked up and thrown at you. still looks better without it imo.
