Had mine off for awhile until I opened up the mounting holes so it'd sit closer to the tire and clear my SE Fork Brace...

I rode without a fender... one day riding home one beautiful evening, about 150 ft. of road was drenched with well water from the median strip having been freshly watered... I still can smell that nasty water to this day.... fenderless.... never again, I take pride in my hygiene.

I had mine off last week. Road it to work, put it back on when I got home. I did not care for it that much.

I ran my softail with out a fender all of the time, I am not sure why I haven't had it off all that much with the SB. I agree that it looks better, but if you do have to ride across a wet road you will want to close your mouth and duck off to one side or the other.

Mine has been off since last year, I love the way it looks. It does kick water and sand up in your face, but its no worse than getting hit with a bug. When I do a trip I will put it back on.
