I like a little fender better than none at all, but that is just me. I also like it there to hold tools when I am banging on my junk.

This may or may not apply.
If your cruiser has clean rust free and low damage especially the E-1973 fenders (the thick ones) PLEASE do not cut them. As time goes on there are fewer and fewer of these thick fenders around. Once cut, they are gone. Cut the Taiwanese replacements or body damaged fenders first.
...from my tenure in AZ, I saw many a fixable fender trashed either by cutting or replaced with another fender (and the original thrown in te dumpster). My buddy sold out of all the good ones and has not found anymore in 2-3 years.
think about it.

I have lost so may tools during "test runs" around the block because of fricken fenders but I still dont know if I would elliminate them. looks good on some 40's with big tires but I just need something to hold up my turn signal (even though it dosent work):beer: :fj:

Hey Rick, they are beyond salvage man. They are already WAY cut...he just wants to take the last 3" off.
I just cut down one of those pre-73 fenders and you are right...I should have his Stephen up for another cheapo. These damn things are THICK.
Live and learn.
