Thank you for giving us the definition of dove tailing
You may not think you are giving up much storage space when you do it but think about all the things you can mount on the fenders...co2 bottle, spare shafts, tools, cooler, etc. something it really going to have to jut out for you to hit your fender like it is now or roll...which in that case its going to hit no matter what. Like Davido said, sounds like a lot of work to be losing more then you might gain.
