Some aesthetic questions and mods.

Right guys....

4 things i wanna change/look into on the XTX

1. Bottom mudguard, what's it's function/purpose ?
2. Fork springs, is there an alternative to Kev mod (which i have already) to stiffen the front end up. Even if it's new springs/internals i'll give it a whirl
3.Top fork shroud, can it be removed? There's one on Ebay for an 09, but glancing at mine yesterday it seemed integrated ?
4. Shock spring/alternatives ?

I put 15w fork oil in mine with Kev spacers and droped the forks through the clamps 10mm I would think the lower mud gaurd stops some of the crap being thrown off the back of the wheel up the engine.

I assumed that too, but wondered if the brace had any function to it ? I can live with the dirt side of things as i'm obsessively clean with the bike and don't do rain.

Ironically Im looking for a low front mud guard like the xtx..small black plastic bit. I wonder if it wil fit the Tenere? There are no bike shops here for 30 miles so when I get near one Im going to see if the distance apaprt from the fork legs are the same on both bikes and how it fixes.
