Shortest Fender Chop Ever?

Last Friday, I took the day off to work on the Sportster.  While I might not have accomplished as much as I would have liked, I did get a lot done.

First up was to address the area under the seat.  Once I get the new fender mounted to the swingarm, you will see the back of the oil tank, some wiring, and other parts.

To help cover that area, I needed to sacrifice a stock fender.  I bought this fender a while back to chop instead of my original fender but got impatient.  Anyway, its time finally came.

I traced the outline of the seat and used my cutting wheel to chop along the line.

Here it is mounted - quite possibly the world's shortest fender chop ever.

Eventually it'll be painted black so it will blend in with bike's frame.
