Default No front fender

My front fender got tangled with the tire and got ripped off. I kind of like the look without it. I don't have much choice since it will be a while before I get it fixed and repainted. I know I'll get drenched when it rains but oh well. What do you think?

Looks Sporty to me

I like the look really, would hate to get all wet though.

Rode with no front fender back in the '70's; you will not believe how much water will get thrown up onto you when it rains

Water and just plain road dirt. Take the time to look at the underside of a fender that has been on a while.

Looks good like that. Fug the fender and stay out of the rain.

it looks great, I really fancy taking mine off but as others have said it's the filth the bike will get covered in that puts me off.

I saw someone shrink wrap or something on the forks to keep water from splashing up during rain. Of course this is temporary I think there is also an actual plastic piece that fits on the forks. Wasn't crazy about how it looks but that's an option if you need one.
