Default '08 Rocker-C Rear Fender Chop w/Pics
The rear fender is currently under construction. I was originally going to have a more squared cut on the sides, but ended up dove-tailing it. I am debating on whether or not to cut it again. What do you guys think about the cut on this one?

Looks good just like it is IMHO. I'd leave it right where you have it now.

I think it looks good like you have it but your opinion is the only one that matters.... you're the one who's going to live with it every day.

I would like the cut to be squared off a little and not so rounded, but I really don't wanna cut any more off the length of the fender. To get the look I want, I will have to weld on additional material and start from there. Just wanted to get someone else's opinion. Thanks. I'll post pics once I get it back from paint.
