Every single one I've seen has the mudguard removed, and yes it looks good
I always thing it looks a bit odd TBH.
99% have some sort of slope or curvature on the rear even with cut down frames. Not having even a small cut down 'guard on the front wheel throws the aesthetic balance off for me.
Plus that it's obviously really impractical.
Out of curiosity with those cut down rears does shit get thrown up your back or into the engine?

That's gotta be the same one. Sort of metallic green?
Edit - the only thing I don't like about those cafe'd up Hondas is the removal of the front mudguard. Every single one I've seen has the mudguard removed, and yes it looks good, but it's dangerous if you're planning on throwing the thing around corners. That mudguard doesn't just stop mud getting in the engine, it also reinforces the front forks and stops them flexing and bouncing when you're down low and turning a corner at speed.
