Doesn't the front fender act as a sort of support for the forks?

not much. I've been running without a front fender for quite a while and notice no difference. If he had a wide glide, there might be a difference.

Rounder, I don't think you can make a bad choice either way. for some reason I do like yours with a fender... think Gambler's idea of a stubby one would be perfect.

doubt it...I used my weak azz arms to pull it apart to fit the wide front...
been fenderless for months now... Thought I'd install and see if anyone thinks it looks better than without the fender...fork brace may be in the distant future.

Bike looks great either way. My preference is with the fender on.

I guess if you don't mind getting road spray in the face from a wet road, w/o would be ok. Personally, I really would rather not getting my lower legs wet , let aloneeverything else, but each to their own
