Want to chop my fender...looking for ideas!!
 

Currently have a 12 fxdc and with the burley slammers in the rear i love the way the fender looks....especially with no plate and eventually no taillight...however i purchased a fender off of i think 2010 fxdb...i got a good deal on it so i scooped it up with plans of chopping it..looking for pics, ideas, or maybe even a place to get er done....also what do i do about the struts, i know i would have to cut them as well but how far...can i remove them completeey??

Pistol please don't chop up your perfectly bada$$ bike! If you chop off the struts you would be looking at big time repairs and $ to put it back original if you ever wanted to. I say sell the fender you just bought and put that money towards shaving, filling, smoothing your original fender. Long,clean, de-cluttered fender with those long pipes you have would look top notch! Just my opinion, but I'd hate to see your ride get chopped up.

Keep the stock and shave it. Everyone these days just chops it. I love the way mine came out. Check it out. http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/...psqq0id8ya.jpg

Chop the struts too ;)

Check out my SIG or the following thread...

I really like the look of the Rocket Bobs Dyna fender....nice and low profile but with built in struts so you can run 2-up in the future if you'd like - hack em now but have the peace of mind for the future. That is my plan at this point too - looks really nice with the "Kellerman" rear signals and bar as well IMO.

Yeah exactly my thoughts, can't afford rocket bobs just yet but will do it in the future, meanwhile I have no plans of running 2up for some time so I just chopped it :)

Orange are you running rear turn sigs??

First you need to ask yourself will you be riding a passenger. If you just want to trim the existing fender just get some painter's tape and put it on your back fender and go to town with a sharpie until it looks good to you. Then go from there. And I agree, the Rocket Bob's fenders look great but they are pricey.
