All 2st What to do about brush is shrouds?

Been around these 2 piece shrouds for a long time.... Well since 02'.....

I have them zip tied together.... but I still get tons of brush wedged in that 1" gap....

I've seen the lower shroud removed....piece of metal in front.....

Just yet to see a real answer....

I crashed into a flowering Laurel bush last year. When I came out the other side of it there were pretty flowers stuck in the shrouds and guards.

I sawed the points off the tank plastics so they don't gather up a salad every time I ride. The point catches stuff and guides it into the seam between the tank plastic and the radiator plastic. This will also prevent breaking the front bolt hole out of the tank plastic the first time the point catches on a tree.

Went all priscilla queen of the desert on us did ya Steve?!

haha...no pics, sorry

I removed the lower rad shrouds. I also sawed off the plastics flush with the rad guards and zip tied them on. This served my race bike very well last season. People got a kick out of my ratty little tiddler. Most people only saw the back end of it!

Another vote for no lower plastics. Seems mine always broke the first ride after replacing them so I just gave up haha.

I use gorilla tape at the junction of upper and lower to keep greenery out.

Dang hillbillies put duct tape on everything

No problem here.

Hahaha

Thanks guys.....

Kinda' nailed it...

no matter what- you must allow for poetry...

do not run lower plastic. the rad guards are good for me.

Drilled a hole through upper and lower plastics and use a cable tie. Stops the bushes getting caught in there and ive got black plastics so youd never notice
