That really cleans the bars up.

How do you like it, since you removed the front fender? Have any trouble with debris, rock chips,etc?
I've had the front fender off for about 7,000 miles now and haven't got hit with any rocks yet and sand and dirt hasn't bothered me either. The spray from a wet road is another story however. I always carry a bandanna with me and when it rains I wrap it around the fork legs and it does an excellent job of eliminating the water spray in the face. As good a job or better than the short 1200N front fender in fact.
Never thought of that,thanks for the idea.

I think we both owe some thanks to Darksyde for showing us a cheap/ easy way to clean up the bars.....
