f650 Raising Front Fender
I am currently doing bike prep and mods  for my AWT (RWT) to my 1996 classic f650. (calling it a 'Funduro' makes me squirm  )
One of the areas that looks vunrable is the front fender and associated plastic, so I thought I might make a bracket to fit under the fork yoke,(where the horn is mounted) and lift the fender up higher to avoid it getting clogged with mud etc. I would just discard the side protectors as they seem to be for show only.
I know that there are AM fenders but why waste a perfectly good one.
However, looking at various sites I find that 'Dakar' owners are doing the opposite and fitting 'low fenders' to avoid spray.
Anybody done this:confused1: . Any comments on how effective, necessary, or drawbacks? Crud in the radiator springs to mind.
Just to remind you here is a picture of the front wheel as it is, gaiters have since been fitted to forks, and my impression of it as it may turn out. (perhaps a bit lower, looks too high in my impression and may foul front fairing)

Cheers
