What might have been

Actually, the rear fender in that picture is the 17 MX gold with white vinyl wrap

I was thinking of doing that on mine as well.
Or maybe try plasti-dip haha

With plastic in short supply, I decided wrapping it would get me more use out of it. No sense in tossing a gold fender because I wanted a white one

Me too! Me too! Ha ha.

I actually like the look and of course, as mentioned, preserving the hard to source plastics is never a bad idea.

Thanks for posting the pics and info guys. -Ed

Honestly those shrouds are needless bulk and weight, but could you imagine the industry reaction to them putting out the bike shroudless? People aren’t ready for that much of a visual change.

The pain from the shrouds reminds me not to do stupid stuff... So I'm keeping mine for now.

The interior area of the shrouds would be the perfect place to mount a water tank, small water pump, and hosing for an active misting setup to help cool the battery during operation. I may actually do this.

For my riding I think I would rather mist and cool the rider!

I really like this idea, make summer riding much better!

Yep, I usually find that it is the rider that goes into restricted power mode due to overheating long before the ALTA battery.

I was just thinking about where I could stash my camelbak on the MXR after I went for a short ride without it on my back. Felt so much more comfortable without it binding up my arms and chest and dragging my chest protector down in the back and always having it riding up the front of my neck.

I was going to look into a square or triangle shaped bladder and see if I could secure it in the space where the airbox normally goes. I was also wondering if I could put it on the rear fender in one of those tool holder bags.

If someone fit bladders (or the equivalent) for their "cooling system" in the shrouds, that would be awesome and would make a good "camelbak" setup too.
