I bobbed my savage and just wondering how much of a pain in the azz is it to have no front fender?
I like the no fender look but I wonder how much it will affect handling. If at all
Thanks Chris

If you go with no fender,.. you might want a forkbrace...
The stock fender is pretty beefy...
... if you're sure it's what you want,... you could cut the front fender into a brace...

I went with out a front fender for awhile, it wasn't really that bad. I could really only tell when I got on those roads where they cut those grooves in them and then the front would move around some.

Don't remember much about handling, but crap throwed in your face and into the cooling fines was a pain. I remember that.

I ran fenderless for a while. Looks cool blah blah blah. Never noticed any real change in handling. First day it rained changed my mind though. The spray perfectly arced right over my windshield directly into my face.

Yeah, the first time I rode through puddles with no front fender, I was really happy I had a full face helmet on, Haha

Personally I'm looking for a bigger fender to keep crap off the motor and me.
