I hear ya there Brian, true indeed! I avoid riding in the rain for the most part, I do get caught in it every now and then but don't willingly ride in it on purpose, so I opt for fenderless and play clean up later...  :-\

The more fender the better here in the rain forest. I'd like some Indian style fenders if they would fit!

I know, a radiator costs way more but, what are the chances of anything ever happening?


chances are good on this particular bike.
New rad is over 700bucks  .Yes, I had to buy one.

you know, some people just look in internet to know the price. You didn't have to go and buy it, but thanks for your sacrifice.  ;)
