You should be able to change the XTR's front mud guard with the XTX. The R's is slightly longer but might not look great on the XTX with the smaller wheels.

I did not realise the X's standard fender was not ideal in the wet as I changed mine over almost immediatly to an Acerbis Supermoto one. These stopped all the spray fine.

C`mon....all this is the fun o riding a bike... whits a wee bit o water gonna do...yera Pict...c`mon....git the lower mudguard or even adopt the wee black hugger tae suit..........mabozzar

Since January 2002 it became compulsory for all new production bikes to have the lights constantly on, it is for your safety when filtering or when riding behind a vehicle and approach crossings.

Does it really matter that the mudguard sprays water in front of you when its pissing down with rain? You can't get wetter than wet.

I once DID get wetter than wet. I soaked a toenail off... still a great day in the saddle mind you ;)

I hate that nanny state sh1te.

And yes Captain, you can get wetter than wet. There are various stages ..

Wet ..... Soaking Wet ..... Drenched ....... and so on up to .... As wet as DBB :p

Yep i have the same feeling can be not deside our self to have the lights on or off. Dont no why you would need to (charge flat battery) but you never know when you need to do a bit of stelf riding once in a while!!!!

Also there are 2 of grades of wet,
wet out side
wet inside

Both are not great but one is defo worst than the other.

What is this "riding in the rain" you speak of??? I do not understand, can someone please explain it to me..........

:rofl[1]::rofl[1]::rofl[1]:

Imagine riding your bike in the shower - with no hot water - with all your clothes on - except without a shower cubicle - .....

Now you have the picture :p
