Mike, can't you just make a template out of cardboard to get the shape and length you want?

If you like the stock end of the fender, trace and cut the cardboard to match and then slide it up or down and stand back and adjust if needed.
Yelling blue is faster while eyeballing it helps....

Good job on the trimming Mike.

I was waiting for my camera cleaning kit to arrive...
Then a new HeadWinds headlight showed up...
It looks like either HD copied the HeadWinds or vs. versy.
The Headwind is longer though and I had to run and get a different bolt to mount it's base. I need to slice the wires and then cover the wires with some chrome look weave loom. I installed a 55/100w H4 in it.

I will get some pictures once I get a day off again starting Sunday.
