rear fender + light

[petercnm]

Hello all,

again looking for some advice....

I'm planning to shorten the rear fender of my dragstar.

Is there a good way to cut it, without having to repaint?

Or maybe a nice way of finishing?

Also, i'm looking for a taillight/brake light that fits under the fender, something like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10224848/wallpaper33_1024.jpg

Anyone knows what kind of light this is?

thanks

Peter

i suppose you can use a dremmel to cut it, use maskingtape on the fender first to stop it slipping.

i used an angle grinder with a metal cutting blade on it and slowly cut the rear fender.

did a good job and didnt scratch/harm the finish at all so id suggest that. as to the fender it will sit right high up off the wheel (about 2-3 inch!) and the only way to lower it is to either get smaller shocks or cut the rear fender mounts off as to a light you will have to fit it somehow i had to use fibreglas to make a holder then used clear silicone to stick it in. either that or get a bolt on jobbo anyway good luck and post some pics up when u get it done!

thanks for the eply guys.

It will be a winter job, and if i find the nerve to start cutting and don't screw it up completely, i'll surely post a few pictures.

thanks

just take some pics and put them on a computer then edit the photo (so you can get some idea of what it will look like) and take the fender off so you can have a good look and mark it up properly. probs best getting a cheep 2nd hand fender off ebay or somethin to chop and paint then u still have the original if all goes wrong.
