Title: 2 Cut or Not 2 Cut ??? Post by: 1slowfox on January 07, 2005, 09:41:05 AM I have seriously been pondering the idea of cutting my fenders ..
I know alot of people say you get dirty blah blah .. thats doesn't really bother me , whats the point in riding if you affraid to get a little dirty ? What exactly is the purpose of this ? Besides it looks badass , and that it suppose to help in trails , and I've read a little about helps top speed a bit .... How many of you run cut fenders ? and do you have pictures of it ?

I run flat track and some moto-X and it helps to be able to see your front tires when you are close to someone going threw a corner at 60mph. Also when you hit a 30 to 40' dubble you quad wont act like a big kite..

Title: Re: 2 Cut or Not 2 Cut ??? Post by: skizzfry on January 17, 2005, 08:15:24 PM i guess nobody knows how to cut them? I know sometimes people will break your balls if your wrong on some of the posts on different threds ive scanned. so if anybody has any idea or so much as a clue as to what is type of saw or blade use just pm me.if you know what line i should cut on a z400 it would be a bonus. let me know and i would much ablidged. it seems the z has bulky fenders compared to other bikes ive had in the past. and not only that, the bike is up high and it is very tipsy .When im hitting corners i have put my body extra low and wide.( if ya have a z you will know what im saying.) Im only 5 '9 so my torso is isnt long enough to see around the fenders so when im haullin around tight single trac turn i cannot see whats ahead on the trail. THANKS

Post by: VelociRaptor350 on January 17, 2005, 11:51:38 PM Im cutting mine tommorrow, along with painting the red hood white, ill post some before and after pics when i get done, i just plan on using a dremel with the cutting wheel and then some sandpaper to finish it off. Ive heard of alot of diffrent methods, from a jig saw to a regular utility knife, even heating up a saw blade and using that to cut through, im sticking with the dremel method.
Title: Re: 2 Cut or Not 2 Cut ??? Post by: LTZ400ApK on January 18, 2005, 03:49:47 AM i used a jig saw and a file

Ed Title: Re: 2 Cut or Not 2 Cut ??? Post by: VelociRaptor350 on January 19, 2005, 03:04:17 AM Hey 1slow did you cut them? I got the dremel out right now, wish me luck :)
Edit: i got it done, check it out in my thread in the picture forum Title: Re: 2 Cut or Not 2 Cut ??? Post by: 1slowfox on January 20, 2005, 08:46:24 AM Yes , I cut my with a jig saw , then filed them down with some 80 grit them used a fine file .. there are still a couple rough looking spot but for the most part I like it .. I got into some mud the other night and I wasn't any more dirty then I would have been if I had the fenders !
Ed Title: Re: 2 Cut or Not 2 Cut ??? Post by: VelociRaptor350 on January 20, 2005, 09:00:52 AM Nice, thats good to hear about the mud, i plan on getting dirty anyways so whats a little more mud? I took alot of the fender off, its a little weird looking down and seeing the ground instead of those stupid warning labels that were on the fenders.
