RE: front fender or not ???????
To answer your question,here is what it would look like.
Actually,depending on tread desighn,most of the spray would not be on you but would be directed forward from the top of the tire,kinda like a reverse roostertail.
Good Luck

I always liked the old school look of a bikewith nofront fender. Like others have said, I don't think I'd want to ride it in the rain though.

Well, somebody hasn't actually ridden in the wet without a fender. Yes, the spray goes forward and up from the front wheel. Obeying the laws of physics, the spray slows and the rider and m/c rides through the spray. Thus the rider and bike gets covered with crud. Also, rain isn't the only source of water on the road, especially in the Southwest.

Been riding w/o front fender off and on for most of my bike time. I'd guess more w/o than with, overall. Funny thing is that with or w/o, I get wet when it rains. Really doesn't make much diff in a "regular" rain. If there is plenty of water on the road, it sprays up, but most of it misses hittin' me.
Summing up: You will get wetter than otherwise. The bike will get cruddier between cleanings. Who cares?
Do whatever you wanna do; what anybody else thinks means less than nothing.
