Default had mt rear fenders rolled today...

I had my rear fenders rolled today and didn't go as well as I thought.... I wound up with 2 dimples on each fender where the screw fom underneath used to be... If I go somewhere else and get the fenders pulled a couple mm's will this solve the dimple problem.... If so can anyone recomend a good place close to queens ny.... I guess not everything works out the way ya want....

Should have shaved the fender.

I think alot of these "will it fit" rear fender issues would be solved if someone can make a rear upper adjustable control arm.

Yeah if you search everyone says to roll front, trim the rear. Unless you cut the rivers out then roll.

I rolled my rears with no problems. You just gotta take it slow and can't go fast.

And Ikeya isn't the only one that makes RUCA's for us.. Studio does also.

I Should of just shaved em but had confidance in my guy to do the right thing. I guess I def went the wrong way with this one. Live and learn I guess. Doesn't look bad just looks like a door ding on the wheel well. If there is a solution to get rid of it though feel free to let me know... If its not fixable without body work I'd also like to know... I can def live with it but would rather have it perfect...

I shaved mine pretty far, I only left a small edge on it, not sure how many mm tho. No problems with it separating or anything.

Plenty of people have shaved them completely flat without problems. I left a a couple millimeter lip on mine as that was all I needed, id just shave as much as you need for your particular fitment and call it a day.
