Does anyone have a solution for a fender to keep from getting roosted with water? or am i just stuck with the stock one?

Are you asking how to... add a fender to your fender eliminator?

 

[olson187]

no, im asking if anyone has this issue or a different style fender?

 

[mechano84]

Okay. For what it's worth, my Urban Enduro came with an NRC eliminator installed by the previous owner. I didn't have any problems with it, but I put the stock UE fender back on anyway because I like the way it looks better. Getting roosted is definitely a sacrifice you make with a fender eliminator. After all, that's what a fender is designed to protect from.

Does the stock Scrambler UE fender actually keep you back dry?

Maybe on the Classic?

I'll let you know when the rain starts again in October or so.

I ride in some pretty crazy florida storms on my UE in the summer and the stock fender helps out a bit. Sometimes it's so wet that I catch it from every angle and the fenders don't matter, but in a steady downpour my back is usually the driest part of my gear when I get home.

I'll tell you the stock Icon "fender" did not keep my back dry.

I was expecting so, neither did my R1100GS, G650XChallenge or DR650.... (all three with a properly mounted license plate).


Just the nature of having a high, short rear fender ....


(but we don't want a Hando Pacific Coast either)

Each of my Ducati's ranked in order of fender effectiveness at keeping my back dry:
- Multistrada - 90% ....100% with top box on.
- Diavel - 70%
- UE - 20%

Conclusion - always take the Multi when it's raining.
