Need my fender feelers on my bike lopped off. Want a nice clean cut anyone near sj with a plasma cutter and some fab skills?

Plasma cutter isnt really gonna be as neat as I'd like to see on a bike. Your best bet would be to use an air powered angle grinder. Just tape off the line you wanna cut....then proceed from there.

^^ agreed.. depending on the type of tips used (drag tip vs standard) you can actually have a very jagged edge.

Angle grinder with a cut off is your friend

I have no angle grinder either...anyone?

Thanks for the advice I'm handy just new to metal fab/cutting.

Go buy an angle grinder. I have one if you need to borrow one. Always good to have one.

My compressor would laugh at that air hog. No buying toys right now with the baby due any day.

They are electric.....borrow mine when the baby dust settles, or bring the fender over, we'll get it cut.
