    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

My finder was jacked up by a PO. I put a new tire on the front and it rubs. (it scared me at first. thought it was the trany and it stunk too.) Well I've been running w/o one and it's been fine. Until now I ran through a puddle twice and I would like to have it back. I think I can see where it was rubbing and I think chopping it would fix it. BUT if I chop it how much can I chop and keep the water out of my face?
 
I see two choices:
One- Chop and go find a puddle your fender already rubs,right.
Two- Hammer bondo paint no chop no worry
 
Well if I could just get those who have already chopped their front fender and ran through puddles they can report and say this does or does not work.
 
I chopped the front fender on my 77 750 about 4 inches in the back and about three up front. Rode in the rain all day last October with no problems from water flying up from the front tire.

I would tend to believe you could chop it pretty far. My buddies bike is fenderless in front and if he has to ride in the rain he uses a bandana across the front forks to cut the spray and says he has no problems. I'll probably see how well this theory works after i get my fork brace and pull the fender this year.
