Default Shaved the rear fenders.

Today i had some time to shave the rear fenders. So i called a friend for some advice but he said just come over to my place and i will do it for you. I did it before and its a piece of cake. So i said; Okey i'll be there in 45 min.

Shaving fenders is really the way to go.

It took me about 20-30min per side and it came our absolutely perfect.

I will never roll fenders again as I've never been happy with the results.

The rears, you want to shave. The front you dont want to make the fender too thin or else it'll buckle when you turn.
