I would say make sure you definitly want to cut your fenders because i did it on my o'l 300ex and it looked awesome but then i didn't like it as much when i went riding cause you really get muddy wet etc... to the extreme:D

I use the dry erase marker to draw the lines then use a grinder to cut them, dont force the grinder or the plastic will melt instead of cutting just cut a small spot then pull back just keep doing that technique an they will turn out good with smooth edges.

i am thinking of race cutting my fenders. my 400ex is already widened but do you really get that much dirtier with race cuts than fenders and being widened?

when i cut my fenders i would always get really really muddy, and wet... but thats prolly cause i cut the rears too

You will get alot more mud and dirt on you, i actually just put fenders back on mine, they look better cut but i would rather not get wet when im riding especially when its cold.

i made my lines with electrical tape then took the sabersaw to it. i black sanded the edges then took a torch to them to cure the edges and give it the factory smooth edge

You getting muddy all depends. We went on a trip with a lot of mud, and the kid with race cut fenders was the dryest out of all of us, because his quad was widened so much that all the mud went right past him, unless he was turning while hitting mud going fast.

my quad is about 50" wide... the full fenders stopped very little mud because the wheels were so wide. any mud they did catch, weighed them down so much and they are crappy meiers (spelling), so i cut them. the backs do throw some mud... and the fenders weighed down a lot and sagged. i like the looks so much better now. i dont mind a little mud on me
