If you don't mind a little sandblasting on the front of your bike, and never ride in the rain.

I like the fenderless look on a lotta bikes, but I don't think it would be right for your bike at all.

Your bike definitely has a vintage vibe but not a bobber vibe, which is what I think looks right without a front fender. Yours is beautiful but just too buttoned up to rock without a fender.

JMO of course.

I would leave the fender on your bike - its too "pretty" to take it off. If you had a bobber then yeah I would say go without it.
I was torn in between with mine so I chopped it and made it a shorty.

It seems to me you made the decision I would have and leave it on. I think bikes can look cool without a front fender, but I would never ride it in the rain.

When I swapped to a 19" front wheel my fender didn't fit, so I decided to go fenderless. Left on a long road trip that way, but came back this way because even the smallest wet spot going through the Cascades gave me a face full of $%^*

I would keep it....
