Default Holey Crap!!

Now that I have your attention, can anyone tell me what the little hole in the front fender (rear bottom edge) is for? I've searched for trim, tip extentsions etc and nothing. Only the fat or wide fenders have the edge trim tips etc. Should I find a big wide mud flap and use the hole to secure it?

Why is it there if it serves no purpose... or does it?

Thanks

Sorry, but I don't buy that. If that were the case, all the fenders would have a hole in them. I don't know if that hole mystery will ever be solved.

I saw a site somewhere on here that some guy makes little leather deals that hang down. You can get them for the front and the back....not for me though

Triple T it's used for mounting a fender tip. Supposedly to keep the engine cleaner.
I just looked in HD . It must have been in J&P or Kurykyn book. I'll send pics tomorrow.

If you drive fast enough.. flames will shoot out of it and desintigrate any oncoming traffic... it's pretty cool!

It's to hang your bell to ward off gremlins.
