Well, last weekend I bobbed the front fender off my kz, and took her for a ride today. I was just about to carve though some turns and noticed a slight wobble and backed off ! I'm guessing the fender does really stabalize my bike ! :blink:

Also, I took the right brake caliper off my bike since it wasnt hooked up. I noticed immediatly a change in how the front suspension rode, it was more springy - I assume those few little pounds I took off made it ride diffrent ? Well... fenders going back on tomorrow.

Yeah, those items actually do stuff. I rode without my front fender for a little while because I thought it looked cool or something. That was fine until the first time I had to drive through a puddle and got a big face full of road muck... then there was the gravel.

Don't be dumb. Put your fender back on, hook your brakes back up.
