Well I finally found that I indeed have a rub. Left side is okay but the right side has signs that the fender is touching the very top of the sidewall on the rear tire when I make a hard left. It took tiny threads of rubber out that I noticed yesterday. (pic below is just for refference, I'll take pics of the damage soon.)

Question is, how can they roll a rear fender when half of it is plastic bumper? Anyone have rolled fenders on a Gen2 so I can see what I'm shopping for before hitting up the local shops?

I guess the first step is moving from the center to the track setting on my RSB. That should help.

the inner part, not that rear bumper, usually they will cut two slits and then gently push the little lip back in and smooth it out. ive been rubbing for a while but dont have time to get my fenders rolled...you can also see on the rear, it has a little part that sticks out along the fender. thats what causes a lot of the rubbing also.

Obviously they cannot roll the plastic part... you could have the metal part of the fender rolled and have them shave the plastic down.

Mine are shaved and they shaved the plastic as well.

So when you gonna lower it? hee hee

I said screw it and used a cut-off tool to just shave mine down. Risky to do if you don't have a steady hand because you can cut right through the side of your fender if you're not careful! ;)
