Before and after

So here's a few shots to give you some idea of what a Champ looks like without the splash guards (you can see the large crack I repaired),

personally I haven't found them helpful for anything which is why when the left side broke half way off again yesterday I figured I'd just cut them both off.  However it is also a cover for some of the the electronics which are on the front of the frame,

 so I will leave the cut off version on as cover.  So I took the dremel and smoothed out the edges after I cut them off to try and make it look nice and pretty.

I think the profile with the guard cut off is actually pretty good, and it will do the job of keeping the electronics dry.

Also note the more "aggressive" profile with those Shinko's!
