Its pretty easy to take them off just removal the fenders and all the bolts then drill out the two rivits with a drill on each side. I broke one of my fenders so they are off for now and I don't think it looks bad at all. But I don't have any pictures maybe someone else does.

its easy as hell to take your front fenders off. just start doing it and before you realize it you'll be finished. I like the no fender look but only about 1/10 people do it seems to be.

You can just pop new rivets in...

Also most people dont take them fully off because the cut ones look way better:blah: haha it's all a preference though so do whatever you think looks better...

better angle, but crappier pic

i just dont think the cut looks better. maybe more people do it but I dont think it looks better just because it fits in better with the crowd

Here is a pic of mine with Maier Plastics, and no fenders... I love the look of just the shrouds... It's nice to be able to see your front suspension working also without the fenders in the way... Its all in rider preference...

Why thank you...haha:D

The bumper looks way better proportioned with extended arms on...plus it keeps some serious roost off of my radiator.

Also like everyone said its all preference. I like the look of your guys' 450s without the fenders too, but sometimes to me it just looks like its missing too much, theres just a big vacant area up there, I dont know. That white 450R is one of the nicest ones I've seen without the fenders..SICK, post more pics from different angles.
