Prova dinamica coi kit paraschizzi A&P su effetto strada con 3mm di acqua sul fondo stradale ,detta inclinazione data sia al paraschizzi anteriore
e posteriore fa dedurrere dai videoclip una minore nebulizzazione dell'acqua causa la maggiore distanza fra ruota e paraschizzi.

I think I understand why the yellow thingy but I really don't think that I would put that on the back of my bike and ride in public. I do like what you did with the front fender extender, though.

Post by: stevewfl on December 16, 2013, 03:20:24 PM: I usually cut the back fenders off my bikes. I never did my C14 because its never been a starbux or bike night ride for me, its strictly my mile eater. But my question is what purpose does this serve, to be seen better? I haven't had a problem with dirt flying onto my behemoth top-box, although I suspected thats what the yellow may be for?

I like the music!

Post by: VirginiaJim on December 16, 2013, 03:24:53 PM: I'm sure that's what the yellow thingy is for, Steve. Can't say much about the looks of it, though. I think if it were black, it might blend in a bit better.

MG, did you get a new bike or has it always been black? My mind isn't what it used to be..

Post by: Gsun on December 17, 2013, 08:39:18 PM: This is google translating the words below the video.

Dynamic test kit with mud flaps A & P effect on road with 3mm of water on the road surface, said inclination given to both the front splash guard
and rear dedurrere ago from a video clip less water spray because of the greater distance between the wheel and splash guard.

So, I guess it's for riding in the rain!
