Default Fender guard rolling

are the guards on the 430 pretty simple to roll. Im getting a lend of a roller from a friend, but remember reading somewhere that the guards have little tabs that need cutting first.

Can some of you guys will rolled/lipped/pulled guards give me some input here.

Thanks.

Well I did a bit more information digging and found it was best to shave the rears as they dimpled very easily when rolled. So today I took out the angle grinder with a 60grit flap disc and shaved off 5-6mm off the lip. Took 20mins a side and no scrubbing on the back end.

Just thought id update if anyone ever found this thread while trying to figure out the same problem.

Yes, the fender shaving is a easy way to add additional clearance. Also suggest applying some weather coating/sealer to the bare metal to keep it from rusting.
