I've got an 07 Sportster XL883L and want to chop the rear fender but still stay legal with the number plate.

Anyone done similar, and how ?

Apologies if this already on a post somewhere that I haven't seen.

Pics appreciated.

 

I cut the fender with a counter rotating circular saw. Took longer to mask and mark than to do the cut. It gave a nice clean cut without any damage to the paint. All that was needed was to protect the bare edge with undercoat then sand and apply the top coat. Used a fine brush for that.

That was legal, maybe not the fender................hahaha, but the number plate met the standard!!

 

 

CUT IT UP!! Chopped the fender rails off with angle grinder and 3-5 Corona's!

Thanks guys, I will do it as soon as I can work out where and how to relocate number plate and tail lamp.

What tail lamp, and license plate bracket have you used on yours Jinda ?

Where did you source them please ?

Cheers

It's a LED unit I got from EBay $15. Tail/Stop light and numberplate bracket with rubber mounting block.

Checked out Jinda's setup on a recent ride. It looks good.
