I am just curious as to now much road spray comes off the front tire, and back into your face when it rains.
I noticed a large amount of sand flying up in front of the bike when I took a ride yesterday. Lots of sand where I live, they dont use salt in the development.
After seeing how much sand is thrown up, I am curious as to how well it does in the rain.

Not good. Awaiting front fender alternatives.

Riding wet roads, I have noticed little of the sling-off reaching my face. It mostly hits the headlights.

I have gotten crud on my face shield. Haven't ridden in the rain since my Laminar Lip in stall tho. Still, better fender would be...better.

Not reaching my face. Even before the laminar lip. The only crud I get on my shield is from the vehicles in front of me. The stuff from the front tire never gets higher than the head lights. It doesn't even make it to the flyscreen.
