Bored out of my mind so I began to search for the answer myself. First introduced by Harley on the 1949 Hydra-Glide, named so due to the first time Harley used hydraulic forks. Designed by Brooks Stevens who mighta coulda been influenced by Indian motorcycles. Fenders were named Air-Flow.

So is the answer is just another thing they copied from Indian?
Or is the answer to avoid the cost of designing a new fender?
Either way we the customers are stuck with 52 year old fender technology.
