I reckon you could halve it and not "finish it" look at it for a couple of days then decide. If your picked up put a mudflap on.

Looks stock... good work Gus.
Another worthwhile mod. How'd you go cutting the rear guard? Hacksaw and clean up the edge with a flat file and sand paper?

Put a tape line and used a hacksaw blade held by hand and cut straight across .Then same way to do the fancy bit,then cleaned up with file.
Easy . Hard bit was getting one side exactly the same as the other ,if your not carefull it gets smaller and smaller .
The reflector i got from Auto Pro .Twin pack .Take off the double sided tape (doent stick to plastic well ) and silicone on .

What happened to not cutting the guard to stop rain/muck flicking up? was that you saying that before?

TBH the stock fender is next to fucking useless. My Givi top box is covered in gravel mud everytime I look.

That looks really good Gus but I would shorten the rear guard, cut it down to maybe 4 fingers down from the reflector to show off the back wheel more, I have not moved my number plate but I did cut the mud guard off so that my number plate is the bottom edge.

Gus's fender looks pretty OEM, so the cops shouldn't hssle you unless they are being assholes.
I have my rear wheel out atm, so will be cutting mine down this week hopefully.
