It's been raining here in the south especially in La for the past week. About sick of it my self, but yesterday I road about 130mile from NO back home it rained all the way. There are plenty things I don't care for when riding in the rain and wet roads but from my knees down get soaked. It takes a while in heavy rain but eventually my boots and pant leg will get drenched. I can reach down and try to figure where the water is blowing from but I'm not sure where. I wondering is there some type of deflector or rain guard or fender flap that's known of that could help.
Thanks

Rain gear is pretty cheap . Harley rain gear is actually pretty inexpensive and works well. I am not sure you can stop the rain from hitting you, but you can put on gear to keep you dry

 

I had a rain gear jacket on but recently cleaned out my bags and didt put my frogg togg pants back in, found then this morning. That 2+ hour ride in the rain would not been as bad if my knees down didn't get so wet. The engine needs air of corse but if I can't figure where most of the water is coming from maybe a simple deflector could help some, then I may get too hot on dry days? Just asking if anybody figured this and added something simple that worked. thanks

 

Damn, wish it was raining here.....I shoveled 14" off of this deck at dark last night, around 28"-30" so far and no sign of letting up!

 

I hear you, seen the weather map. We lived in woodland park a couple years, it was beautiful. After talking to my son, thinking most of the water is being thrown up by the front tire. A lowered front fender skirt or a retractable skirt that would retract if you did not want it down or if you run over a curb edge and hit it? A lowered custom fender would be nice until I hit it and bent it up?

 

I hear ya...the only problem with the rain gear is that it's a pain to put on when you're on the side of the road in the rain
