What ever blows your hair back, I guess.
I've been toying with the idea of a FatBoy front fender, but I'm too much of a chrome ***** to try it!! Kinda like the idea of removing the rubber bumper from the front too.

I added a front bumper to mine. I like it much better that way.

I have been considering replacement fenders on my RK, either SG style or Fatboy on the front and SG rear as I just want a change without buying another ride.
