Default Anybody run a Fatboy without a front fender?

On other bikes, I like the sleazy, raw, just-got-outta-prison look of no front fender. I can do that where I live-New Mexico-because it barely rains.

Anybody got pix of a Fatboy running like this?

I'm having a hard time visualizing it for some reason. Maybe it would detract from the often urbane look of the Fatboy.

I've seen a modified fatboy without the front fender and the inner wheel part painted black... of course they modifeid the rake to make it look more "bobberish"and modified the rear fender as well... it became a theme bike actually, but it looks pretty dam sick.... too bad I don't have any pics of it to upload...
But what I think is that it will really depend on where ur taking ur bike... and the overall look of it before u take the front fender off

I ran mine without one for about 2 weeks. Something just did not look right. So I put it back on. I think the long rear fender threw the whole look off. If you bobbed the rear fender I think it would look great without the front.
