looking for a winter project and decided to cut the the rear fender on my fatboy. Actually I'm going to pick up a cheap rear off ebay and cut that so I have my stock tins so I can switch back someday, but you get the idea.
so who's chopped their fenders? and please post a picture so I can be inspired and get ideas of the look I like
I bought a used Cross Bones fender off of eBay and cut it in the middle and shortened it 4 inches and lowered it 1 inch closer to the tire. The result is in the picture below.
I found some fenders locally on Craigs, Saved my Stock fenders as well.
I cut @ 6-7" from the back of a stock Slim fender, mounted a Street Bob tail light with a doubler under the fender to avoid the cracking problem that HD had. The doubler is not visible unless you look under the fender.
The front was a Fatboy fender, but it is unrecognizable we cut so much out of it. You could use any HD fender that fits a softail when you chop a front.

It looks like it has aftermarket struts. What struts are they

what did you do to the edge? is it rolled or just ground smooth?
