LOL...Just making a statement...A lot of people don't realize it...I think some bikes look cool without a front fender.I would hate to see someone get busted for something else (probable cause)...for no front fender.

No front fender really lets you taste the road. Wait until that little sprinkler leak on the road turns out to be raw sewage. YUM YUM.
It can look cool but so do a bunch of the custom fenders.

You will be hating life if you ever get caught in the rain, been there and done that. It also slings various debris back up at you and can chip surfaces such as your tank etc.

I just ordered a 21" front and wrapped fender. Wheel will be here Monday and fender is another week away. I am thinking about putting the wheel on just to see the looks. I still like the wrapped fender look, but we will see.

I just shaved the rivets off my front fender and leveled it. Had the bodyman fix a reverse crease (caused by a rock stuck to the front tire and scraping through the inside of the fender) and then the painter took his holy time finishing it. Wound up riding back & forth to work for almost a week sans front fender..... didn't look good.

I've also seen a front fenderless Roadking before and didn't care for it at all.

I had a front fender on the last bike I built, then took it off & left it that way.... but it weren't no bagger!
