Hi ronajon

How did you shorten your rear fender? Did you just cut the end off or did you leave the nice edge and shorten from the other end!

hi jimmyb

i cut a piece off the end of the fender on the "inner side" of the bike, so i could easily move the fender up a bit and keep the lip

That means you had to move the attachment bolts a bit. I suspect that required some metal work.
