I like it better with no fender... I guess is just a matter of style... would you like your bike to be more of a "bobbed" or "barebones" style??

BTW.. such short fender wont give you any more protection during the rain compared to fender less .... but what the heck.. just ride and get wet, that is why we are motorcycle riders.. :-)

They arent called fenders over here in the UK. Theyre called mudguards and are there with the primary aim of protecting you from crap coming off the wheels and hitting the rider.

Personally I prefer the look with the bobberd fender rather than without.

In my part of the UK there are lots of horses, cows and sheep and their resultant 'offerings' are regularly to be found on the surrounding country lanes. So I dont thnk I'll be bobbing mine anytime soon. ;-)

I like it with the fender. without it makes it look like your riding around as your fender is in the shop getting repainted. I guess what I'm trying to say is with the fender it looks complete

With fender.
I like the additional paint (matching/ adding to rims, tanks, fork tubes etc.).
