Lardy Rear End

[Mark-Bursledon]

Been thinking for a while my 05 sportie is a bit lardy at the back end ....well to be be fair the standard rear mudguard is for sure ........... anyone taken a hacksaw to theres to shorten it down or know of a good alternative?

Have you considered the bobtail fender conversion - either HD or aftermarket? It improves the view IMHO.

Yup I have done one. Use a grinder(use a very thin disc)
Place a strip of masking tape on the fender where you want to cut it first.
This is the sort of look. http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...bill/bike5.jpg
