Small front fender
« on: July 27, 2014, 05:05:12 PM »
Looking for the small front fender for my 78 k2 and it looks like it's not a simple task of just buying one a screwing it on. Any tips would be great!

Drill out the 4 rivets holding the stock fender onto the mounting bracket. Cut the backside of it down to the length you want. Re drill the fender and mount it back with some panhead screws.

 Sorry I am a noob. How do you cut it and look nice and what tool? Also is there not a easy kit?

No 'easy' way. Nothing direct. You gotta have a grinder and a sharpie.

You can get fiberglass fenders but you still gotta cut

Too much on ebay. I will try and find someone to cut it. Still don't think it will look good.  Thanks all
