Hmmm, those are japanese bikes, metric... Not Harley, unless you want a metric instead of an American icon...

Hey Flatiron I got people saying that I should be running a rear fender on the back of mine because I will get so much dirt and grit on my back if I dont. I was looking at rear fenders and IF i did one I would want it to be pretty similar to yours.... where you really dont see much of it. Does that one help at all with he dirt and grit on your back?

I don't know about him, but mine does pretty much nothing to stop water and dirt.

Yeah the fender basically does nothing... It's fine when it's dry I don't get anything on my back but if I ride through I puddle I get water in my face cause of no front fender and I get water on my back cause that fender does nothing... I never ride in the rain and I avoid puddle so I really don't care... I just like the way it looks. By the way that is the stock iron fender just cut up quite a bit lol

I ride in the rain. Must look ridiculous having water shoot up my back and water fly into my face.

The funniest thing is after it stops raining and the roads are still wet, I'm the only one still getting sprayed.

Yea, see I really like the look of no fender on my shovel, but if I were to get a fender I would want one that is very minimal like you guys have. But if it does nothing for the rain and dirt then forget about it!!! Im only riding that old thing when its nice out anyways. I have a nightster for the daily rider.
