Lightning: no front fender or uly fender?

[rsm688]

I am thinking about removing my front fender on my XB9S and either leaving it naked (other than something to cover the brackets) or possibly using a Uly front fender on it. Does anyone have any pics of a lightning with no front fender or a Uly front fender or been running their bike that way?


Thanks,
Spencer

I contemplate that from time to time (then I put the fender back on! LOL). Here's my bike right after I mounted the new tires...

Thanks for the pics and links guys, 50dro I think it looks pretty good myself too.Jack I saw that fender and like it but I want to say its around $170 if I remember correctly which is a little too much for a fender in my books

Thanks! Personally, I think it loses its luster once the tires get scrubbed in...New tires always look great!

If you decide to do it, make sure you cover the fork tubes somehow otherwise you could risk causing a leak...

You could run the fork protectors off the STT model and no front fender.

Thats actually what I'm thinking of doing now augustus, I will let you guys know what I decide and post pics


THanks,

One ride in the rain without a front fender, and you'll put whatever you can find back on!
