Title: Re: fender cutting Post by: cutngrs on October 03, 2008, 12:32:51 PM the plastics will bounce with a sawzaw in less you have a lot of hands to help use a razor knife and cut as close to where you want to end up then finish with a hand grinder it will come out sweet this how i have done them for years
Title: Re: fender cutting Post by: quadguy33 on October 03, 2008, 12:48:39 PM I have cut a couple of sets. I used a air compressor and die grinder. turned out great, fast and easy. when done cuting you can round the edge off.

Title: Re: fender cutting Post by: Team Alba Z400 Rider 43 on October 05, 2008, 05:49:38 PM Dremel tool with a cutting wheel, saw zaw, jig saw, hack saw, whatever works. I personally like the dremel. I have done a bunch for a ton of people. If your careful you can use a potato peeler when your done to really smooth out the edges, followed by a lighter. If its your first time I recommend smoothing it out when your done with a file.
