its a beauty mark, when i paint a fender i use the mounting holes, this keeps the fender from twisting away from me when i spray it.

Damn, you guys are in a league of your own. Of the thousands of things you could post about, inquire about, talk about ya'll pick out a hole in your fenders.

Ask yourselves this question: "Self, would the mo co put a hole in the top of the fender so they could hang it to paint, and leave it there". Why would they do that when they could just hang it from any one of the bolt holes used to secure it to the fork?

I think splatter may be onto something, but ya never know.

[sm=confused06.gif]I reckon atultra high speeds, the air rushes through the hole and creates a whistling noise that acts as a warning to the rider to slow down.

... I really should get back to work.

I heard it was a tie-down point for bikes that get frieghter shipped overseas.........
Or was it a little padlock hole so's nobody steals your fender?
Wait....wait... it's a spot to bolt on a leather static discharge strap like my Grandpa had dangling from his Rambler.....
