to cut or not to cut?

[94warpig]

Didn't know where to put this.....I'm thinking about cutting my front fenders. Thoughts on this?

make sure you have an extra set i dont know where you ride but if its not the sand you might wanna swap them out from time to time thats what i do

 

[PHANTOMLORD]

I dont recomend it but i have'nt done mine, i thought about it but thought i dont want all the dirt/mud flying up on my legs..

all about preference man. i would personally keep them stock or just remove em and get some cracked ones and cut those or something like that.

If you think you will like it i say go for it. Just don't chop them off like mine are. I didn't have a choice though, mine was like that when i got it. Its also a good idea to track down an extra set of fenders, which will probably be easier for you than me.

I've actually found out its really no worse than stock with mud and such.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

it's all about your preference.
most people buy an extra set of front fenders to cut then that way if you don't like the race cut look you still have the originals to throw back on.
I have a set of each

I'm not really worried about the mud etc. I just think it looks a bit more "sporty" if you know what I mean

if thats what your after just trim the outer flair off and trim the fenders a touch shorter on the mud flap side like i did mine, looks like it came that way from factory and looks 10X better.

as for mud and dirt goes, i havent noticed a difference between my supper wide front end with shaved plastics over a stocker with factory plastics, either way you get mud dirt or sand on you regardless.

this is my cut set I just cut off the trim

race cut

stock

 

[duneracerweston]

also you can tape off what you wanna cut off and step back and look at it to make sure its what you wanna do before you cut anything off.

 

[duneracerweston]

Hauler you cut the ENTIRE mud flap off... i never have liked that, but thats your bike, and btw this axle is done if your wanting it.

I actually like the feel of the quad with them it changes the ergonomics

how so??

 

[94warpig]

How much did you trim off the back side?

 

[YAMAHAULER]

Yeah but I still have the trim and back flaps so I could always re-attach them. don't matter I have the original uncut ones too plus a set of white fronts that are cracked on 1 side

all i can say is that it is like getting cut when your born. if you had the choice would you do it? so dont do it to your warrior!

 

[94warpig]

That was a strange analogy...lol

 

[alex456123]

lol the warrior is DEFENSELESS!
