Default SG naked front fender
Have any of the SG owners here done anything to dress up the
big empty front fender on their bike? It cries out for attention.

It’s simplicity, is it’s beauty.

Now the rims are the ugliest thing Harley puts on a bike.

Nope. That's part of the beauty of the SG.

A Streetglide is about less is more! No added gee gaws for me. Personally I really like the stock rims. I put a Fat Boy front fender on mine, less fender still to show off that front wheel.

One of the reasons I went with the StreetGlide was for the clean look. Not really into the lights and chrome all over the front fender. As stated above - simplicity. IMHO.

I got a Classic and put the Street Glide fender on it. It looked too plain for me. I added the lower shirt off my Classic fender. I think it helped tie in the look.

I too prefer the clean look of a Street Glide fender.

There used to be a vendor selling "Street Glide" front fender emblems on ebay. Looks like HD made them quit. Link Now the emblem just reads "Street".

Cleaner is more gooder. That is one of the appeals of the Street Glide. The lack of bling and the monochrome paint scheme.

Plain is the SG's claim to fame.
