This is crude but it worked to gain a little tire clearance.One solid smack at a time and it worked well.
Truth is I could have passed on this step because the tire cleared by an 1/8th .

left nice small clearance (dents) should look fine.I know they look a little rough in the pics but I reassebled it and lined it all up and it was barely noticable.

There she is.Kind of a matte chrome but I think it will work with the look of the bike.
