I don`t have ANY fenders on my bike and rode in the rain last weekend.The bike is as expected,filthy.No water came off the front tire,just the rain and spray from vehicles around me.I only noticed the lack of the rear fender because a pool of water formed on the back of my short bobber seat.With any other full sized seat,it would have been a non issue. As Erik stated,you are gonna get wet,regardless of your fender choice.Now,oil,road tar and other crud are a totally different story.
