I say get a fender! I went through some small puddles yesterday and got a major shower! This is the first time I've not had a front fender and I'm allready shopping for one!

I can't see being able to ride in the rain or even on a wet road at all.

Just wrap some duct tape or a bungee cord around the forks. It'll break the spray pattern. Or go for as permanent fix - tweek bar or fork brace. Not perfect, but close enough.

I always carry a bandanna with me. When it rains just wrap the bandanna around the fork legs. I found this works better for cutting the spray down than the stock short fender on my 1200N.

That sounds like a great idea, but does it also help with rocks, sand, and dirt? Just curious.
