WOW ... the bike looks AWESOME !!

I'm back and forth about the axle covers. I agree with the other poster that they "pop out" too much, but then again after a while they kinda grow on me. I 100% agree on the round mirrors and handgrips though. I'd maybe start looking at some new rotors as well since your out shopping.

Damn dude. Looks awesome. Love it.

Forget water, but does any grit etc get picked up easy by not having a fender?

Took mine off the other day, real easy, then put it back on, and have it off again. Can't damn well decide at the moment.

Bike looks sweet without, but i'm a little concerned about crap flying up. Water I don't care. Don't rain here.

Again, your bike looks awesone man.

Axle covers, yea, I think that I might go back to chrome. Without the fender I don't get debris in my face, but any kind of water, even just a light mist on the road from landscape sprinklers, comes right up the front of the bike and into my face. The headlight ends up getting covered in dirty water spots, as well as, the front of the motor, front exhaust and the gas tank. I have a cut down fat boy fender that I put on if I going to be riding all day. Thanks for the comments. Its one thing to get a compliment from someone who just likes bikes, it's alot better to get comments from you guys who have done alot of great things to your bike.
Spooner.

Awesome job, keeping the 'ol school hard look alive!

I love it! Think if you slam the a$$ end, it will look even harder.

Like others have said too, grips, and some round mirrors will compliment it greatly.

Again, looks great!
