Default Front fender opinion please!

It's easy when you know what you want. I knew I wanted the front fender to radius with the front wheel so I cut the sides to expose the wheel.

Now what I don't know is where to cut the front of the fender.
I've drawn some crude lines that show up on the camera and want you fellas to chime in on what you think will look right or best or prefer or whatever.

If you like the lines I've drawn pick the one you like, if you think it should be a line I haven't thought of then come on with that.

Thanks for taking the time to help a brutha out!

Hard for my little brain to picture it cut but I think I like the 2nd from the front best.

The one closest to the forks, but without the pointed cut.

I think you should cut it straight out similar to the bagger fenders

if you gonna go with a big tight fender then keep what you can of it, cutting less is more in this case. Not that I didnt remove 75% of the material from my fenders but I would just make it flow with the rear....maybe just radius the inside corners to match the rear and dont cut anything. I would try to figure out how much of the rear tires diameter is covered by fender and try to do the same for the front.....equal amounts on both sides of the mounting point on forks
