best way is to go to the technical section and read the thread how to roll your guards...
if ur not that confident doing it urself then check yellow pages as there is a bloke around sydney that has a roller and he comes to you...

Needs to be done with a guard roller...
I have one, its a contraption that bolts to your hub with a wheel and an adjustable arm that you roll over the lip and slowly roll it up further and further.
The VL's have double thickness metal on the front half of the rear guards and its pretty tough to roll it back.
It can crack the paint if its not heated and kept heated while rolling or if your paint is ****ty and or a rusty
Most tyre shops will have them.

The front's are almost garaunteed to buckle, look at the very top of the arch at the hole/weld join.
We do guard-rolling in-house, using a heat gun, hub rolling tool and care.

I use a heat gun and a rubber hammer on all my cars... works a treat
Guard rollers do work well though... I just don't have one

Oh yeah its the only way you can do it properly on the rears without damaging the paint.
The fronts are bit different but and would be best done by hand.
