Not needed for MOT but not road legal to ride without one.
I rode around on my M8 Slim for over a year with just a fork brace on it and was never stopped, Bit like exhausts, you run with ilegal pipes and chance it!Is there a legal size?.
If not, you coukd fit a U shape fork brace, where mudguard bolts on. Technically a mudguard.
You might like to look at where your voltage regulator sits, then ask yourself if it's really a good idea to shower it with any more water, crud and stones than is necessary, simply for the sake of thinking you look cool.
Just saying.
Indeed.Apart from some of the Glides the front mudguards are too short to stop the regulators from getting a pasting anyway. The shorter the guard is the more you catch in the face. Even a bit of field runoff on a dry day will be all over you and the bike.
You should see some of the excuses customers use to claim.Amazing how insurance companies will find any excuse not to pay up
