I've never run mine fender-less.
I don't care for the look and out here in the land of sand and rocks, it would be a good way to go for that used-to-be painted look.

I did it on my chopper for about 30 years. If it rained I would just hole it up some where. Problem is until the road dries out, seems it took forever, you still get soaked.
