upon putting my bike back together after it was knocked over on a public street... the original owner my buddy came over last night to look at the damage.

looking at the fender;

he suggested I simply take it off, so I can start riding it again, until I find a decent used one, or save up the money for a complete fairing kit...

This being my first street bike, as I commute to Oceanside to Glendale to Canoga Park, I ask this; would no front fender be a safe decision to make ? Keep in mind my 02 CBR F4i to is mainly my "traffic beater" no stunts; sometimes high rates of speed (not for long periods of time though) (also not topping 120mph)...


Thanks in advance all.

I wouldn't worry about riding it for a while without a front fender. I wouldn't think the front tire slings to much stuff around. That sucks man!

 

i didnt think so either. . . i mean if i had a nobie on the front or something it would be a different story, lol.

thanx !

 

will be fine, messy but fine lol. check ebay for a fender.

 

nope; no water in my face in the rain, she stays parked when it rains.

as for ebay i havent found anything i like without costing an arm and a leg...


thanks again.

i found a few fenders here just a diff. color, in which i was thinkin i should bought and painted myself since i am gonna try to sand out my scratches and throw some paint on myself for the time being...

 

Time for flush mounts =)

 

I have a sweet looking brand new set for sale cheap too!

 

I've been riding without my front fender since march. I get an occasional pebble that flys at my visor, but thats about it. Not really that hazardous unless your riding without a helmet. (Legal in AZ) And even then it won't kill you unless you spaz out and cause a ruckus all over the highway.
