Default klockwerks stretched rear fender

Question for the guys with klockwerks stretched rear fenders, how did u get the ECM caddy to fit properly under seat? Anyone have any pics? ECM caddy is straight along the top edge but the fender is curved, just wondering how you guys got around this. Much appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. the ECM caddy fit right into the cutout in the fender with no issues. Can you please post a picture?

It does not fit flush. I did some light trimming on the top edge flange and it sits in deeper.
Something I did not try at the time but may work is to heat it with a heat gun being very careful not to get it too hot and put a slight curve in it. If I had it to do over this is what I would try.

Badfish, the ECM caddy top flange is flat and lays against a flat surface when dropped in the cutout. If you look on a oem Harley rear fender, the top part of the cutout is bent downward and flattened to sit flush with ECM caddy. Now on the klock weeks fender, the top part of the cutout is not flattened but curved with fender so the ECM caddy doesn't sit flush so was wondering what people did to get by this.

Hharley eaves, I was thinking of trimming and or heating and moulding too but just wanted to see if there might be an easier way. When you trimmed it, did u have a gap now between the ECM caddy and fender? If so, did u leave it open?

Cheers,
Kris

There's not really a gap, more like a crack? I trimmed the top flange off where it would sit down in the cutout and the side flanges hold it. The top is just even with the opening. If I had it to do again I would try heating and bending first and if that didn't work then trim it.
