I was in process of replacing stock front low fender of my 04 950 ADV to a high fender, thinking it will eventually break and cause an accident or something. In the past, it has caused minor problems for me in mud. I am replacing the cross over break line for sure to 2010 specs. But...

looking at the rally KTM bikes in Dakar, I see almost all of them have the low fenders! I thought this was a must mod for a rally. Could someone shed some light on this. Is this because they ride at high speed or something?
