What happens when you run through a stream of water or puddle of mud. Does it get on your back like when we ride bicycles?

Jim Day is like Chuck Norris.


He does not avoid it the puddles avoid him.

The Bike is a 750, 1975 R75/6, and those are Kayaba forks off a 2004 YZ450F..

I adapted the forks to fit the bike but I also drilled out the cartridges, put in a spacer at the mid valve, shortened them 2.5 inches and reworked the springs.

So the new fork shorter then the stock YZ450F fork but much larger and tougher then stock BMW forks, and off road capable. Shortened Kayaba forks are a common upgrade for the BMW R100GS duel sport bikes. The bike basically has the same suspension as a modded or improved GS.

Mud??? Puddles???? I ride on the road or in the desert in So.Cal. I do have a issue with getting rocks in my eyes so today I put the original front fender back on.
