Very easy to remove, no need to take off the wheel. Just use a ratcheting wrench to un bolt the 2 fender bolts that hold on the rails and 1 nut that secure the front part to the fender. will pull right off. - Put the fender bolts back on, and your done. took me 5-10 min to remove.

The rear one holds the lower part of the saddlebags, You need to buy a new bracket to replace that one or the bags will shake and wobble.

Clean too. Took off front and rear bumpers and bag guards. Replaced front bag guard with Street Glide bag support. Looks long and sleek now.

I had to remove the front tire on my 2010. the two fender bolts on each side had locking keepers on them. there wasn't a good way to get to them without removing tire.

I think it depends on the model. An Ultra with an Sg front looks too light compared to the remainder of the bike. But an Ultra with merely the bumper removed looks good. Depends on what look you want.

On my black bike I intentionally elected to keep it all on there as a part of the challenge to see if I could leave all the functional stuff on the bike and still have a black bike that wouldn't get lost in a crowd. Hell, I even added a few things. With selective powdercoating and chrome placement it doesn't look busy. Although I was going for beefy burly presence, balance was key for me.

I just got a street glide fender and my rear fender back from my painter for the RK. I put the Road King emblems on the street glide fender, but it is "naked" other than that. I put the street glide facia on the rear fender and had all the holes filled (license plate bracket, antennae holes etc) and had it repainted. I can't wait to get it back on the bike with my new Agitator wheels!

So I'm waiting to get my tires put on the 9-spoke wheels I bought, so I took the bumpers off my EGC to clean them. Took the rubber inserts out to clean the chrome nerf bars that cradle them. Um, wonder what just the chrome bumper bars would look like on the bike. Very cool, I think I'm gonna run like that for a while anyway.
