Question No rear fender Nightster

I recently chopped the rear end for my nightster for that bobber look. i cant decide if it looks better with or without the rear fender. What do you like better?

They both look good, however the chopped fender on looks better on IMO. Nice work!

I love the look of the short rear fender as opposed to none at all. Looks more "bobberish" that way. Wicked job by the way!!!

Hey, do you mind if I ask where you tucked away your ECM? Thanks!

Lose the fender. I'm curious if a lot of debris hits you when you ride without a fender. If you ride in the rain, will you get a stripe up your back like folks with fenderless bicycles?

Looks good both ways, but I like it better without the fender.
