No one did any trimming, nor did someone "put" that hole in your fender.
That is a factory hole. Most likely used to hang during the painting process. All sportster front fenders have that hole.
Go ride that bad boy!

It is to hang your mudflap if desired

You beat me to it. You can mount a mud flap, or some chrome trim using that hole. I actually thought about getting that chrome trim, or blacked out trim, just to fill that hole.
But, then I just got on the bike and rode it fast on a curvy road and forgot about it!
