To those with fenders eliminated

How bad does the water splash on your back and rear seat when riding in pouring rain?

When I had the fender eliminated, I had to ride down in pouring rain from the shop.

I dont know how bad the water splashes, because it was pouring, and I was wet anyway, but the whole license plate and the back seat were covered in sand and dirt.

The fender in the back definitely works to keep that stuff off of the bike.

But I do love the new look, it makes the bike seem so much fatter, so its worth it

I've rode in the pouring rain. It gets the back seat a little dirty but I've never really had it get me dirty or anything. I think it was well worth it, it looks so much nicer. I also usually will ride with the cowl on the back when its raining because it gets less dirty than the seat and its easier to clean.

The wet roads in vancouver will leave a little bit on your seat and license plate. When it's raining, I don't notice it as much because the rain pretty much washes it away. Personally I never get any on the license plate and a little more on the seat. No idea why.

It most likely will never get on you, and is definitely worth it in terms of looks TBH.

I regret it... Mine gets pretty dirty. Sure, I don't get dirty... But you'll find that when you ride in the wet, it's gonna be messy on your bike.

I wish I could go back...

It does look better, but not much better when your bike is always dirty lol.

I think that really just depends on where you live. Here in cali I only deal with rain for a couple weeks a year so its not really much of an issue.
