Cheers, I will have to look into this then, it may not be the idel mod for me as I live in the UK and it rains almost every day of the year.
I am pretty sure that the kit I am getting sits inside the fender housing with the bottom of the fender housing intact so I may not have too much of a problem if that is the case but I have seen mods such as the one featured on
http://www.geocities.com/itr_1220/ that have the bottom removed.
