bobbing fenders/edge trim advice
« on: September 02, 2007, 01:00:52 AM »
Some time ago I was given some terrific advice on this board regarding bobbing fenders. I planned on cutting my front fender down with my dremel but was afraid of the edges that would remain.

It was suggested that I buy some car/truck door trim. Great idea! I cut the fender to the desired length and curve and cut off the right length of trim. It looks perfect!

I will post pics later (when the rest of the bike looks worthy enough to post pictures of it!)

I'm sceptical.  Pictures post haste (OK- please).

Did you paint the fender after you cut it down or leave it chrome?

Sorry....just read that post.

No I left the fender chrome and I used car door trim (also "chrome") on the edges.

attached is a pic.
