Front fender Removal??
has anyone done this? does the front fender provide any protection? if you have any advice i would like to hear it. of course the only time i have seen a bike without a front fender is in magazineson show bikes. i'm just wondering if i take it off is there anything i need to worry about?

well, yes those bikes do look good without their front fenders, and i hate the stock one anyway(looks as high as a dirt bike front fender). i guess those kind of bikes are better left for magazines and shows.

I'm a big fan of the look..but i've never taken mine off of my bike and ran it like that. I did take it off one night just to look at it like that, and in my opinion it looked pretty sweet...so I may take it off and run it like that for a few days to see if I like it, soon. Anyway, here is a picture of Scooter1369's bike with the front fender off...it'll give you an idea of what it looks like.

RE: Front fender Removal??
I love the way my bike looks without a front fender, everyone that looks at the bike comments on how old school it looks. However, if I ride across any type of moisture on the road, even just a little off of landscaping sprinklers, the water runs straight up the front the front ofthe bike, and into my face. I have to clean up the front of the bike including the front cylinder. The fender is very easy to take off and I cut down a front fender that I got off of Ebay for $35.00 just to put on when I travel. I want to keep the original front fender untouched.
