Fender cut plans.

Plan:A
Use the old flair bracket as a guide continuing the lines down and cut all that **** out.


Plan:B

Just cut this section out..


Plan B will make it easier to get my flairs back on, plan
A will make getting them back on a creative challenge.

I'm only sticking out a wee bit without the flairs. 8)


Thoughts?

Going with plan b for now. Just gonna cut this section out for now and cut the flair to match. If I need to cut more later I will.

And yes in pa I need the flairs.

Also after further inflexigation I've decided I'll be trimming the rear fenders a bit also.

Pix...







To tight for my liking.

**** it the more I cut on it, chang it, beat on It with a bfh, the more it is mine.

Got the flares cut and put back. Cops are cool in my area but id rather be legal and well im now always in my area.

Not really liking it but i think it will look better when i cut out the section of fender.


As least now im covered.

Tonight i should have time to cut the fenders after the wife is done dragging me to some birthday party.

**** it needs to get warm.

Next on my to do NOW list is to check all my steering ****. **** just feels like hell, loose and when near ruts it just wants to go with the rut not where I steer it.

Also went through a local trail today to get a better idea what needs trimming. Answer, a lot.
Pix.








Lost a fender.


After driving all the way home.

Found a fender ....


Well there's some warm days coming hopefully I'll get a good bit done.
