Had a little time this afternoon so I broke out the wrenches...

Seen a few pics of it done...but nothing like seeing it in person.

4 bolts and two electrical connectors and I was holding my rear fender in my hands...

This was just a test...I would need to locate a good battery cover (probably Shadetree) and add some turn signals.

I love the fenderless look...my only concern is the "cliff" from the top of the seat straight down to the tire.

I installed the fender back on... surprises me that the torque spec on those bolts is only 38-42 ft-lb.

Thoughts on the look?

 

I dig the fenderless look a lot!!

 

I like the tins on. They are what give a bike personality. Just imagine the Camaro in the background without body panels.

+1 on the Permanant Waves poster.

 

Love it! First time seeing this... Mind letting me know what brand swing arm bag that is please?
EDIT: Garage Leathers... My google foo is strong tonite

 

another vote to put it back on. Although the roster tail in the rain might look cool.

 

Looks lean and mean, but I recall the mess when caught in the rain before I found a front fender.

 

Looks the business that way.

 

i am one that likes a fenderless look but at the end of the day i also like a clean shirt. i think a tight swing arm mounted fender will get you the look you want along with the clean shirt that the end of the day

 

looks good fenderless. but as stated its a mess. If you ride in groups you will probably get a beat down eventually. I also dont know the laws around the world but i know we are required to have fenders here. back in my sport bike days a buddy of mine hauled his bike in to ride with us and got pulled over in less than 5 min for not having a front fender.

 

I like the look, but if you are going to go fenderless on the rear, I'd do it on the front as well. I also agree with the person above who said you may want to go with a swingarm-mounted rear fender and no front fender or minimal front fender. If you ride in the rain or even on wet pavement at all, you will be thankful for having fenders...
