Default Has anybody lowered

their front fender on a Fatboy? I think I want to do it but I sure would like to see some pictures of it first. I guess you wrap the front tire with 1/4 or 3/8 tubing and let the fender sit on the tubing, then cut the new holes, paint the cuts and go ride, is that about it? Thanks in advance.
