front fender on 640 adv 2004

The front fender on the 2004 adv 640 wraps around the tire instead of high above like a regular bike. This does not work in mud since the mud gets stuck between the tire and the front fender and the fender will get ripped off. I was about to take it off and place a regular fender on but then what do I do with the brake line for the second disc brake? Any ideas suggestions?

Sommer sell a kit for the 950. As the front end is similar to the 640, might it fit?

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
