This is what mine looked like with the struts before I cut the fender.
This is a view of the ECM hole.
The flat side of this hole is what I used for the cut line. I cut the front of the fender off (a little over 11") and rotated the fender forward. In that same pic you can see where the seat bolted just behind the ECM hole. I enlarged this hole and re-used the fender mount bushing here and bolted it to where the fender bolted originally.
Drilled holes in the sides and took the legs off of the turn signals...used the turn signals to bolt the fender on the sides.
...after I cut about 8" off of the frame...
