Default Front Fender or no Front Fender on Street Bob???

So I have been thinking about taking the front fender off my '07 street bob tell me why I shouldn't do it, the reason too do is obvious, it looks sweet!! Show me your Bob's without the front fender if you are pro no fender.

I took it off this year. It looks very cool, but I have to admit that everything on the road will hit you in the face. Every bit of sand or water will hit you in the face. Just so you know that than I say do it.

It sucks in the rain. It will throw a line of water into your face.

It does look cool, but you'll be washing your bike every time you ride.
Not to mention all the crap in ur face!

Its not that bad, Ive had mine off for months now, your not going to have to wash your bike everytime you ride. You get a little more debri in the face, a little and you gotta slow down for the puddles. Take it off and try it out for a while and if you dont like it put it back on. Its a five minute deal.

I think that mainly posers do this. If you ride a lot then its just not worth it. I will agree though, it looks cool.

Always wondered... What is the definition of a "poser"?

I ran without a front fender for a while. I got tired of all the crap on the from of my motor so I put one back on. I like it better with the fender now.
