Definitely without. One of the first things I did to my Ultra was pull off the bumpers, front and rear. IMHO rubber bumpers belong on cars, not bikes.

I got a front and rear bumper for sale...I'm liken clean lines
I am a little confused w/ those that are saying the bike has a more retro look w/ the bumpers on...I don't see that and certainly older 50/60's didn't have bumpers

I bought a new front bumper for my 11 limited (it doesn't come with one stock). My old 06 UC had them and I guess I've grown to like them.

My 2010 Limited came with front and rear bumpers, I am going to remove the front someday, I sorta like the rear, sorta......

Rear bumper is gonefrom my 2009 Road King, replace it with a street glide lower facia with tri-bar light.
The front doesn't have the bumper, just the trim. And that will be gone when I find a smooth fender.

It's not so much the rubber bumpers as the chrome bars that hold them on - to me anyway.

Bumpers are for cars!
