Shave Fenders? Should I?

[climb any hill]

I have two days to decide on cutting my rear fender. I'm hitting Pismo Beach so.........Should I do it?
I really dig the look of shaved fenders but dont' know how it would look with my IMS Tank???
I ride trails too & not concerned about that.. So what will it be??

Ohh.. Does anyone here have a big tank & shaved fenders?

Oh.. I cut my fronts with a utility knife, stock fronts are very soft.
What can i use for the thick rear Maeir's? I don't have any type of cutter..........

i wanna cut my fronts... but im gunna get a second set to cut....
i guess just wiat for the right pair to come on e-bay or here to match my bike and just swap when i go trail riding...

Hack away! If you dont like it just buy new ones. Use a Dremmel...makes a nice clean cut.

I cut my fenders with a sawzal to get a rough cut....Then I finished with sand paper and a file...Came out great IMO....Cut em...They look alot sicker...
