Update as on 13th Feb 2007 :
- The mudguard has finally been lowered. The bike looks better now. At first, everyone thought that it would be an easy job to just cut the frame and lower the mudguard. But it proved to be a bit more complicated To do this first the mudguard was removed and the frame was moved further at the right place to lower the mudguard. However due to another bracket under the seat, it was not possible to just cut the frame. So there were 2 extra holes drilled into the bracket and mudguard and after a lot of hammering the mudguard was finally lowered at both ends. The only problem is that now the frame and the mudguard are not aligned in the same shape.
The bike with the lowered mudguard : The bike looks out of shape now since the seat too is now facing upwards and theres a huge gap between the seat and the tank.
