Looks like the end of the fender after you cut it would sit pretty high off the tire. Maybe you should find someone to swap a shorty for the retro.
Wheels look good BTW...love the 5 spokes. _________________

I think you have to add a "tit" at the end point. The angle of it is so shallow it might look like a straight line at certain angles. _________________

What you guys think about cutting the fender on top of the blue tape? Too sharp of lines?
This may sound funny but I would remove the brake light first! Then have another look see, if you run your tape further down around the top/middle of the where the brake light is I think it may look neat/different
You can always go and cut further up but if you cut to short the first time (which is what would happen to me ).....
I think it would be a different 240 and fender look, a little glass and you are Cruisen down the road

the lines don't look too bad, but I agree that maybe a little longer might not be a bad idea to start with, something about the length looks disproportional to me....
love the new rims though! _________________ 05 VTX 1800F/N

Personally I like the fender uncut & like the wheels. You need to put the rear at ride height to make your decision in my opinion, being slammed sways the look of what you might really end up with, hope this helps.

I have would say put some more arch in the curve cuts. Your stopping points look good.
