    Default Fat tires need to be shown off

    Today I removed the back fender and made a home made license plate holder. Really happy with the results. Was a pain getting the nuts and bolts off the old fender. I had to remove the exhaust and drill out a few of them. The fender is still as good as new, so just need to buy some new nuts and bolts if I decide to put it back on in the autumn.

    I enjoy the look but I'm an all weather rider and even though the stock fender appears small - it does prevent a ton of road spray from hitting your backside.

    And off the bike people will be able to tell the width of your rear tire by the width of the strip up the back of your jacket! Why not?!

    May and June are sunny and dry, July August and September are rain, unstable and a bit cold, October til March are Antarctic cold with tons of snow. Where I live at least it's how it is. North of norway its winter all year. Have to go for it in the two months of summer we have here in the south.
