Wink My new bob-job

Well, I did it. Bobbed the rear fender with my new Dremel flexible extension shaft.

I've cut and shaped a lot of plastic parts, but this is my first try at cutting metal.

I'm going to finish cleaning up the rear end with a flatter, laydown, greyed out taillight, and I'm going to relocate the license plate. I didn't want to relocate the taillight, so I bobbed around it.

Please ignore the dirt... it's been snowing here off and on and that damned brine crap is all over it.

Before:



After:




What I cut off:

Very nice job!!!!! I really do not like the new SB fenders at all, but what you just did really looks nice....You did not take too much off but enough to give it a unique and custom look......
