Default Removing SB front fender
Taking off what I dont think is too necessary, or am I wrong??

Wanting to take off the front fender...tried a little bit ago and maybe I need to eat more of my wheaties and try again..so I took it as a sign to find out from ya'll that have taken it off, is there any problems that came from it, and to the ones who haven't taken it off, any big reason why not to? Thanks

+1. As long as you dont ride in the rain. As for the mechanics of taking it off, its 4 bolts and its gone.

There is not too much rain here in houston although there has been a few surprise showers while I'm riding. If the case happens where I'm riding with no fender and the rain hits.. Before I pull over what damage and how bad will it affect the bike?

Just take the thing off already. Don't overthink it. It's just a fender dude.
