I decided to keep OEM end radius and just cut it above the holes for plate number to get rid of them. I would make it even shorter but will this work?
oh your back will be getting dirty for sure...I have the heartbreaker and stuff flies up all the time

Yeah, that cut exposed some serious rubber.

I guess the way to know is whether or not the mud spray on your back is in a "V" configuration!!

Im not a fan of the super short fenders so the Wildheart is out. Dont like the frenched in plate so that one is out. If I was doing it, probaby the Heartlander, but the Heartbreaker is nice too..

agree, I like the 20", but I don't want **** hitting my back when I'm riding. Guys that have the shorter fender, what has been your experience with debri, sand, pebbles, water, I find it hard to believe that it will make contact with you.
