Need some advice guys.
What is the rule of thumb for cutting the upslope on the rear fenders? My fenders are 10.75" wide. From the inside to the outside, what 1 1/2", 2"? Is the front upslope the same as the rear upslope?
Any info appreciated.

Someone else might have a better rule - I just started trimming until it looked right.

You can do it like Jack does it at Kinetic. Lay it out with blue masking tape 'til it looks like something you like, and then trim accordingly. Of course, Jack's "Steamroller" fenders give you lots of leeway for trimming!

My Curtis fenders, same width, have about 3 1/2" slope on the front. However the bottom edge is an arc, not a straight edge. The rear edge only slopes about 3/4". Look at my build or the Letal Locost and that will tell you if that's the look you want.
