Forty Eight Updates (Thoughts?)
So i have been making some changes to my Forty Eight and i have been thinking of chopping the rear fender, but i am in a little bind. What do you guys think, should the back fender be high, middle or standard? I really like the aggressive high look, but once i cut it that way there is no turning back.
All ideas are welcomed.

my opinion dont do that..
I seen that a lot on other threads "Crazy orange" and it looks good on those bikes cos they are narrow bikes, yours is a 48 and a bit fatter.
It looks as though you have a 48 started to build a bobber, saw those other bikes changed your mind and had a go at that as well.
what style do you prefer?
This is my opinion so it means nothing but you did ask..

Well, I like the rear fender so I will not be doing any chopping but I do like the half chopped but only if it is exposing a Fat rear tire 180+ otherwise they look ok but nothing dramatic. that is my personal view..

So going with the half chop and eventually going to get a knobby tire to give it a wider look. Will post pics once chop is complete, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.

Looks like he is using a chopped old soft tail & what would it matter if he cut his original, once the frame rails are cut the original isn't going on without a lot of work.
