Drifter fenders

I love my Vulcan Drifter 800 because there are not many on the road and it stands out amongst the other bikes. But, I'm starting to hate the fenders more and more. It makes it a paint to lube the chain, check the tire pressure, inflate the tires, clean the wheels and tires and so on. Right now my bike is sitting in the garage up on the stand with the wheels off. I REALLY liked the look of the bike without the rear fender. I'm thinking this would make a really sweet bobber bike.
