I hate the stock front fender. I was planning on just trimming it down to make it look better. But was wondering how much flings up if you don't have a front fender?

 

look at it this way, it can't be much cause every new bike has a fender way smaller than the one on an f1.I'm gonna do the same thing to mine sooner or later.

 

man, i hates it too. i got a f2 fender to try and put on there because they are way better, but it is not looking so good right now. i think im gonna end up trimming the stock one and trying to fit an f4 or something, it looks more promising than the f2.

here are the pics of my f2 trial and error. turns out, the little parts that stick up around the forks get in the way because that is where the forks also get bigger. this prevents the mounting tabs to line up, which were also already not in the right place to begin with though. i carved out some room for them to fit, but like i said, it is still not looking too promising. i saw an f4 fender that did not have that part that stuck up around the forks. i have even ground down the inside of the f2 fender with a dremel and there is not much difference.

I've been running for the last month or two without a fender at all. Most of the small rocks get flipped up at lower speeds and usually go straight out foward. At higher speeds the upper cowling is stopping them from hitting me. I just need more down time so I can finish her.... But I still gots to ride!

 

Take a look a my fender, it's a F1 fender cut down.

It is real easy to do and it takes about an hour, just follow the lines from the back half of the
fender and transpose them to the front half.

yeah that looks alot better. You know if you got some bar end mirrors it make your bike look even better. I want them but I'm poor, lol
