Default Front Fenders

Who has modified their front fender? I'm not sure if i want to go fenderless up front, or maybe get something a bit more dramatic. Such as a pointed fender on the top annd bottom, and something that's a bit longer than the small fender i have now.

If you do go fenderless....do you really get a lot of crap kicked up in your face?

Default RE: Front Fenders

I like the longer fenders would not recommend going w/o any probably would kick a lot of crap up, I thought of going with a long wrap around fender and put it close to the tire. Just my 2¢. Ride safe and enjoy the breeze!!

The fender also acts as a fork brace...going without will mean that you will need an aftermarket brace or your cornering will be severly affected.
