BearV7
Just got it firing!
V7 is my first bike so please forgive me for asking: if I remove the part of the bike that blocks dirt and water from spraying on me... will dirt and water spray on me?
I only ride in nice weather so rain is only an issue if get caught in a random storm. So for general nice weather riding, is the amount of road dirt/grime that gets sprayed up with the fender eliminated tolerable? I like the look of an eliminated fender but if it is accompanied with a brown dirty stripe on my back it's probably a step backwards overall.
What about a 'mini' fender like this?

Does that little stub of a fender make any difference vs full delete? Also what about going with smaller fenders up front? I expect you'd have more dirt kicked up on your legs, engine, etc but how bad is it in the real world riding in nice weather?
Just looking for feedback and opinions from riders with more experience.
Thanks!
