Rocker with no Fender
Has anyone removed the rear fender on their Rocker (or other bike). I like the look of this, but curious is anyones has ran into any issues. One I can think of is I will have to find a way to relocate the brake and signal lights. Any info and Pictures would be appreciated.

Not to mention the rain water that will spray all over you when its wet!

You might want to explore getting another fender and cutting it down instead of removing it. A bunch of the electronics and wiring will be exposed if its completely removed. And if I'm not mistaken its also what some parts (like the ECM) are actually attached too under the seat area.
As far as the lights go. You can use a side mounted plate and brake light, and mount the turn signals (or more appropriately styled ones) to the swing arm around the axle. |
there is a video on you tube whit someone who removed the rear fender.....I thought i had the link saved but i don't. I got to tell ya, it looks pretty sweet. it makes the bike look meaner.

love the look!

Thank you so much for the link, does look mean, but not sure about the "wet" riding like mentioned before. If anyone has any more pictures with rear end tail light relocations, I would love to see them! Just trying to get some ideas where to move the tail lights, was thinking of the flex. LEDs? Any luck with those?

Have you ever seen a cyclist riding in the rain? A lot of water is sprayed up and forward, you end up with a wet back.
Which is off course the whole reason fenders were invented in the first place! |
