Default Front Fender?
I just ordered a 2013 Street Bob with black 103 motor, forward controls, flat Black denim color, black 16” apes, V&H black Big Radius 2-2 pipes, red wheels (no white walls).

What are your thoughts on removing the front fender?
Pros and cons?

Pros: It looks cool

Cons: Stuff gets slung all over you and the bike. 1st time you get caught in the rain you'll wish you never took it off.

If you just plan on riding around town when it's super nice out and letting it sit around in the garage the rest of time then go for it.

Thats why i'm putting mine back on. Condensation on the road from AC splashes right on my face. Pisses me off so bad.

It's a flat black fender on a flat black tire...probably look just as good with it on as it will off and it will actually do something for you.

If you want to be old school, I say put a chrome fender on it. That would probably look pretty cool.
