1000XT sans front mudguard

New job gives me chance to use it socially now rather than just commuting.

Takes off factory second front mudguard to improve clearance for claggy mud and stones. Adds aftermarket second rear mudguard... 

It looks much better like that but your front brake hose is seriously vulnerable to damage now. I'd put it back to stock until you can get something sorted, like twin brake lines.

Agreed ... Put your front mudguard back on

Won’t ride it like that, just wanted to see how it looked aesthetically now I’ve got my new Tourances on, good spot though. Thinking a cut down second hand mudguard or fab something up

[tallpaul]

Could you get a longer link hose that goes up to the bottom yoke? Not sure if that's a daft idea or not but it would be the cheapest solution.

Would like a minimalist one like the attached if possible for summer and keep the big welly like one for winter.
