Unlike you guys wanting to shorten the rear fender, I'm considering extending it and a support would fit the look I'm going for.
The few I have seen were held on by the axle and did not require welding tabs for the support. Not sure on that particular one, but if you want axle mounts they are out there.
Good luck man.

Even though I think aftermarket fender look better that custom made cut fender, you did a nice work by chopping yours...
I'm also very undecided: Shadetree, RSD...axel vs swing arm.....
Sh%T!

Hey Rancid13!
Your solution for the fender looks real nice!
You did not need to cut the frame but the chrome cover only, right?
Can you tell me what kind of fender you used?
Did you use the original one or an accessory part?
Cheers Jake
