Default Maybe a supermoto fender?

So my commute's changed a little a now I spend about 15 min on the highway at 65-75 mph. Gotta say that somedays (especially windy ones) the ride get's a little hairy. I'm willing to bet the a good portion of the turbulence is coming from that front fender. I'm thinking it's time to go with a good, stiff SM fender. Can anyone comment on if any of these products helped with wind resistance?

Acerbis Supermoto fender - looks to be the stoutest, but the design is overdone
Maier Supermoto fender - plain jane but it doesn't appear to be vented.
Cycra Motard Cycralite - so far seems to be the best choice based on looks and design features

Am I missing one?

just took off my big banna boat of a fender to put on the Acerbis Evo. It's probably the smallest one of them all so that should help with less wind resistence. Truthfully, it just looks better . I'm thinking of changing to a full face helmet and not using my MX helmet. That would help on the highway for sure.

VSM eh?

I have not seen your ride around town. You think the only two klx 'tards around would have seen each other by now. Were you at the trade x?

oh, forgot to mention that I run a KTM SM fender that has 4" cut off of the front and 9 1" holes drilled in the rear.

+1 on the Acerbis tecnik fender. Doesn't flex even at 95 mph.

I put on a green/white Acerbis Tecnik front fender and I think it matches nicely with the green and white headlight plastic. As the others mentioned it doesn't flex although I only testedit upto 80mph

Wow, didn't realize the technik was that popular. So it doesn't flex at 80 plus but how's the wind resistance? The technik looks just a big as the stocker. I know super motofenders look funny when you don't have super moto wheels, but safe and looking funny then...

Peasoup - Got more pics?
