Re: FEBRUARY 2012 DTT BOTM - VOTING IS OPEN!
I'm with matt on this one...fenders are awesome. I have a nice full fender on the CL that is just ready and waiting for some rain. that being said, Elvira just wasn't made for riding in the rain. I'd much rather be riding something that doesn't put my face closer to the ground when its pouring rain...she was intended for quick whips to and from work, when the weather is permitting. fenders add weight, might be insignificant to you, but i have shaved everything i can off of it, so that just had to go.
cafematty said:I actually took my front end apart the other day for a rebuild and then road before putting the front fender back on.. There is a perfect stream of water (when it's wet) and dirt that arcs out away from the bike and then back into my face directly. I had a full face on, which just got really dirty...
I'm a huge fan of front fenders...
