Stock Fender or this one??
I need some opinions on the front fender, should I keep this 1 on or put the stock fender back on??
I can't make up my mind so I'm going to leave it up to my fellow Honda riders, what do you guys think?
I like the new 1 but I think there's something not right with it and I can't put my finger on it.

They look very similar to me, that being said... What is the new one made out of? If it's any material other then Carbon fiber or ABS then I would stay with the stock one. I personally have had a fiberglass front fender stress crack through riding and snap off and give me some nasty head shake all because the fiberglass sucks taco farts

Honestly, I like the stock one better, but i couldn't tell you why. Something's off about the replacement.
Don't put too much stuck into front fender aerodynamics; that whole section of the bike is a big brick wall due to the huge, flat radiator. All the aerodynamic fender does is increase the fficiency at which the air slams into the engine compartment.

Ya see what I mean, just cant figure it out.
No I don't put a lot of stock in the aerodynamics, it just looks like the stocker would push more air, not that I would notice, But then again, well I don't know, do they wind tunnel these things??? If they do the stock fender must be better cause the 06 fender looks like what I have on now.

Yeah, they wind tunnel them. It's Honda; they wind tunnel car antennas. They wind tunnel license plate frames. I'm pretty sure the Honda lab guys liek to just get all X'd up and **** around in the winde tunnel, then just submit the printouts from that day as proof that they're doing "work."
Stoned Lab tech 1: . . .Hey man. .. what if. . .what if a rhinocerous was riding the bike. . .in the wind tunnel. . .
Stoned Lab tech 2: . . .Oh my God. . .that's . . .OH MY GOD. We need to get a rhinocerous. Is there a rhinocerous here? WHY THE **** DON'T WE HAVE A RHINOCEROUS?! Somebody better get me the dyno sheets on a rhinocerous, like RIGHT NOW.
