You must have ridden in the rain I take it?Compare that to facing a jet wash too and you get the idea lol..Ask the guys running short rear fenders : )

Nah......i ran for a few weeks without one before installing my new one. As said above you'll get a jet wash to the face if you ride in the rain thats about it.....looks cool though.

Default without front mudguard
i ran just a few weeks without my front mudguard and to be honest i think it looked much meaner without it. the draw back is your engine gets sh..ed up your tank and face will take all the road crap

We don't have one on the wife's bike. I'll let you know how bad she b*tches when she gets caught in the rain.

1. water gets shot into your face
2. rocks get shot into your bike, engine and your face
3. mud, salt, tar gets shot all over the front of your bike

Other than that, nothing.

Against all odds I run without...love the look to much...

As others say, depends how, when and where you ride...

You can always try, takes 5 minutes to remove and 5 to reinstall...
