No front fender, it depends on the build. My 72 FX would look like I didn't finish putting it together, my 46 chopper would look bad with one.

my thing isn't the "looks" .
It's road debris


does it sling rooster tails on a wet road?
what about stone chips on the shinny parts?

looks wise, it's pretty cool

i really don't think they would have ruined the lines by adding a sleek but functional front fender
