Eliminating front brackets

[maynard22]

Have any of you done a racecut on your stock 400ex fenders where you eliminated the front brackets?

My plastic is cracked by the bracket mount, and I am wanting to just do away with the bracket all together. Will this affect my side panels if I eliminate the brackets?

Any pics with the brackets eliminated would be appreciated. And yes I did a search, but I can't really see in the pics if the brackets are there or not, so don't flame!:devil:

do you mean where that little rod type thing attaches from the frame to the fender...

or the L bracket?

The rod type thing that attaches the same place where the bottom bolt on air scoops attach.

Haha! I had the same problem with mine. This 1 moron backed up into me and it cracked my fender (because honda fenders are too stiff...so they crack instead of bend)

I repaired it but it bothered the hell outta me.

So I cut them like the pic below and cuz the hole on the black panels off right around the edge. You'll see what I mean.

I don't really care how it looks....I just don't want any cracks.
