Default Different look

Haven't seen any yet and the search didn't pull anything up. So I figured I would see if anyone is running this particular set up...

I was wondering what it would look like with the rear fender bobbed/cut whatever have you like "iron71tike's" Iron, with just a regular single seat. In other words without the spring seat installed. Don't know if it would look right or not, just can't picture it in my head!

Man bobbing the fender on an Iron or Nightster is a great idea.
