Default The old classic front fender VS the sleek FatBoy fender
I saw a Street Glide yesterday with the FatBoy’s front Frender on it. And all I could say is WOW ! It made the bike look so much sharper looking .
So I was thinking maybe the old Classic fender just belongs on the full dresser anymore and all the other Glide’s Should get this from now on . And yes I should have taken a picture.
Anyway what’s your opinion on this .Would you go for the new style or stay with the nostalgia look ?

I guess you'll have to put one on your bike, take a pic, and post it here so we can all see it and pick which one we like better.

My style is simple and I am not nostalgic. I have a FB fender for my RK.

I think it looks nice on touring bikes that are minimalist.

Some like the sleek smooth look, I myself like the classic look. Then again I'm considered a seasoned classic.

A fender's only function is to keep debris, water and sometimes road apples from hitting you or your machine.
today's styles don't do any of that....but but they "look cool"

The MC could always make the rear of it 3 inch’s lower or anyone could just add a nice mud flap to it .
