Thanks guys!
I just used a grinder with a cut off wheel and an extremely steady hand to cut the fender. My buddy helped as well but we cut the front side of the fender (part under the seat) and rolled it forward.
That way I kept the rear oem line and shape but didn't have to have the whole thing painted.

Like your bike man. It looks cool as hell.
came out good......but that stock seat has to go now. keep the suspension and rigid mount a solo seat on there, plenty of threads on here about mounting one. keep lurkin you'll find them, lol.

I agree with bmxatv, get rid of the stock seat and maybe flip or put on some bar end mirrors..... a side from that, that is one sick lookin' scoot!!!!!

Looks awesome, as much as it sucks to not have a front fender in wet weather it looks so much better without it ! I cant wait to chop my rear fender but right now the iron is my only bike and the gf would be pissed if I took away her ability to ride with me ! good luck with it !
