Its your choice just chop em off

get a jigsaw, or grinder, mark where you want the cut exactly with some tape, cut along the line, sand the edges of the chopped up end, then use a lighter along the whole edge and it makes it like it were never cut

easy as pie

i dont know how to post pics. but i shaved mine front and rear. the thing to remember is once its cut its done. i made my lines with tape and cut an inch out from that tape. then i fine tuned it from there. its better to cut not enough than to much. i cut my fronts first and got them like i liked them with a utility knife and sand paper. then i did the back with a jigsaw. but i stood in front of the bike so i could lay my lines on the back. i made front and back fenders same width so it wouldnt look funny. it makes yah nervous at first but when its all done it great. kinda like gettin laid for the first time. when your done you feel like a real man. :D
