What do most people think of the fenders on todays sport quads? I think OE's are only concerned with making the machines look cool, not actually having the fenders protect you from mud and water, slush, etc. The fenders on my old 250X sucked, they didn't stop anything. My Mojave has fenders that actually work. What a concept! My feeling is if you don't like fenders, cut them off, but don't make everyone suffer from fenders that are so small that they are ineffective. The Raptor comes to mind.
