Unbolt the fender mounts and remove the fender, outline the new shape in chalk, then take a dremel cutting tool to it and reshape as you like. If you want to keep the stock signal flashers (and it's much safer and more visible that way, instead of integrating them into the tail), you'll have to leave tabs for them on the side; don't forget to leave a license plate tab, too.

Here is an underside view of the mod. Note the tabs left for the license plate, and also the larger area for mounting the signals. Remember to leave enough room for a hole for the wires to run through. Note how on this bike the signal spacers have been put on the inside. This makes the signals narrower.
