Could you tell where the spray was coming from? Was it the inside of the fender? Or was it at the bottom trailing edge (where vehicles would put a mud flap)?

Mud flaps, mud flaps, mud flaps! Three of them, one on each wheel.
Cage...... scrap that!
Rain suit. I didn't say raincoat!!!
The ones my wife and I have worked so well that the last time we put them on (Saturday) the rain clouds that were looking so severe literally collapsed before we got to them! Best darn rain gear I've ever had!!!!
On the road again...........and forever young!

For the heavy stuff you need a rain suit OR waterproof everything. That is why we have waterproof textiles, boots, and gloves. When you need em, you need em. No fun riding wet and cold.

Amen!!! Water resistant just won't cut it. That includes rain suits with hoods on the jackets that fit under helmets, waterproof boot covers, and gloves.

After the ride home with a new RT 2 years ago, the first thing I put on was a mud flap on the back. My wife got soaked from the water coming up off the rear wheel. It was like a vortex sucking all the water out of the back of the bike and on to my wifes helmet and down her back. The mud flap helped.
