petercnm Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulwhite Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 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!

petercnm Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 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 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
