I assume you're referring to the front fender? I've done it and it looks cool, but the road water splash and rocks I can't handle. So back on the bike it went...until some jackass backed up into me at an intersection and then I had no choice. (I have a new one now though)

I tried it but put it back on after the first rain storm, just not worth it.

I seem to get caught in the rain regularly so my thoughts of it were brief. There is a thread on here "post a picture of your nightster" quite a few of them have taken the front fender off. Good luck!

One note, if you decide to take it off and leave it off, shave the mounting tabs on the forks off with a dremel tool, I think it looks so stupid with the tabs still on the forks and no fender. JMHO
And MRB302, you took off the fender but left the reflectors on your forks? what's up with that?

That's not a reflector. That's my Jedi light-saber device.
