Default FX springer..fenderless???
Is it ok to do this? I am getting my bike painted.
Well I'm getting parts painted to put on it. I can't have my bike out of commission... The front fender is the only thing I don't have.
So, can I run it fenderless until?

Yes, just be aware that if you get caught in the rain you'll get soaked by wheel spray

Aside from the obvious, water/debris spray, are there any other concerns with riding the bike without the front fender? Would it be a wise choice to get one of the RSD "struts that bolt to the mounting points for extra rigidity?

It should be fine. Carry a bandana with you. If you get caught in the rain, you can tie it between the forks and it will catch most of the rooster tail.
