Default Mudflap thingy ?

I noticed some of you guys (katobird) have what appears to be some type of fringe or mudflap on your rear fender. Does this thing help keep the rear end clean or is just a little bling?

FYI, the one katobird has is pn#59027-99 and is made for the softail family. The touring family mudflaps don't have fringe. You can put the softail one on a tourer and make it fit. I'm sure it helps somewhat to keep things cleaner, but I have no personal experience.

Mine keeps my a$$ cleaner, but then again, I'm riding a street sweeper.
