Tires hitting fenders

[DangerousDean]

Any one esle have this problem.

I ride on lots of cutlines in the winter (now because my sled is blownup again) and there ussually wide open in 5th gear stuff... pretty rough wooops and stuff and kinda getting over the back end and i lean on the back fenders a bet with my calfs, and on the bigger hits the tires buzz the fender....

is this bad?
happen to anyone else?
Anyway to stop it?

I'm thinking i might cut of the bottem part of the rear fender (where it kind of curves back towards the tire... or something? or maybe i could add another brace?

it did it to me 4th gear through the whoops at the track near my house, im a really agressive rider and i was sittin way back so the back of boots were pushin back on them causing them to make that sound when the shock was compressing, if u were standing straight up then i dont know, that was with 20's by the way, now i run 18's

heres a photo, the black is where it hits, i guess im an agressive rider, and going through whoopish sections in 5th gear, i kinda lean on the fenders with the back of my leg like AC400ex
The white is where i was kind of thinking of cutting them or soemthing? to stop this?

yeah this is true, its kinda sketch though.

and i do ride in the winter, and -35C and plastic isnt great? kinda worried about it cracking or something...

i used to ride in the winter alot, not as much anymore, oem plastic is pretty durable, but ive seen it crack, guess its all how much stress gets put on it
