Fender here too, but question......is the fender attached or just sitting there. Always thinking of doing the same thing, and wonder how the stock Fatty Fender will look with the 21 as opposed to the heritage type fender. I think the Stock fender looks great in your pics.

I'm partial to running fender less, but I feel a fat boy or deluxe needs the front fender. It looks good both ways on your ride.

Looks good..I usually say no fender but with the bars you have it just wouldn't look right. Looks good either way.

With fender for sure. It looks incomplete without the fender.

the fender is just sitting there, but it is at the correct height. I have it sitting on 1/4" tubing that's laying across the tire. The holes however no longer line up and are far enough away that drilling out the hole is not enough. I'll have to find or fab something that will raise the fender.

I'm too cheap to buy a wrap around fender. It's actually not the fender, but to paint and throw a pinstripe that'll match that drives the price up.

Bike looks great, hope you don't have issues with those spoked wheels.

Are you referring to all spoke wheels or those specific wheels?

my vote is also fender.

If you bob the rear fender then No fender up front, but with a full fender on the rear i think it looks better with one on the front also,.
