Disc shields - on or off?

My project Landie continues to make headway, but I'm not sure whether to fit the disc shields or not... The old ones were paper-thin as the result of rampaging rust, so I bought new ones and had them powder-coated in an attempt to make them last longer. In truth, however, I'd rather leave them off. What does the board think about doing this?

I vote for leaving them on ;) Had them on the 90 since it was new, and I get noticeably less brake pad wear as a result. You do get the odd stone trapped but it's not that often really.

I used to go through a set of pads about every 6-9 months in the hybrid, now they last 18months to 2 years.

So if you spend a lot of time in mud then I'd vote to keep them on for the better pad wear.

Cheers

I would keep them fitted & have done for the past 18 years of 90/110 ownership, but then I live in the countryside with narrow roads with muddy edges.

The problem with removing them is they keep the water/mud from the opposite side wheel as it sprays sideways at road speeds.
