I cut (free-hand, I may add) a good portion of the rear tire mud flap, or whatever else you may call it. Makes the Fizzer look sportier; the tire bigger.

Looks good. I had done the same thing last Fall, but a loose license plate tore it off!! :eek:
Always check the plate holder bolts with those aftermarket cans.

Curious...what did you use to cut it? Dremel? Did you get a lot of melting at the cut? I was thinking of doing something like this and your input would be most appreciated. :thumbup:

looks very cool,

I wonder, if it rains, will there more water going upwards to the underseat exhaust? And if so, will it "smoke" a little bit when coming to a stop?

I used scissors! The plastic is pretty soft almost any sharp edge tool would work.

Hardly ever rains in the desert of Southern California ;-). If water did get on it and the pipes were hot, I can imagine smelling something and seeing a bit of smoke ; but then again I don't get many opportunities to ride in the rain.

Did you take the fender off the bike when you cut it?
I tried to take mine off a minute ago, but the left side was stuck by the underseat storage-plastic cover.

very neat job if it is done with scissors:thumbup:

This a pretty easy mod to do, not to mention it's free. Yes do take it off first! You will have to pop up the center plastic plug. If you're careful, using a thin flat edge should help it pop right out. If it breaks no big deal! You still have what 4 screws holding it securely in place. My broke off. I used heavy duty scissors - don't tell the wife :cheer:

Why does the brake caliper and disc look so dusty red?

Nice tire , I just put on a set of the same and broke them in last night!

Dunno :confused:. Maybe somoene else can answer that. Does anybody else have a red-tinted caliper and disc?
