looks sweet man, i love that cut on the yami. i was even thinking about doing it to my honda i seen a couple cuts that were similar to that.

[#17YFZRACER]

thanks

[acrtheone]

they look cool, nice job.

I an thinking about doing this to my yfz, do your fenders wobble at all?

All you used was a pocket knife? Did you sand them or anything after you cut them?

[#17YFZRACER]

yeah, i sanded and used a liter to get the color back. they dont wobble at all really. there has to be something better than a pocket knife though that was really hard.

[#17YFZRACER]

i think i need to do a little somethin, somethin with the bottoms yet they still look weird.

nice job for a pocket knife. for future reference, 'offset snips' work wonders cutting fenders.

i cant believe i didnt think of that :huh as far as anybody else that wants to do it, just do it. trying to decide if you want to do it hurts more than actually doing it;) oh, and dont use a pocket knife:D it makes a nice smooth cut but you need arms like trees to do it. it sucked so bad.:eek2:

[ohsobad_chevy]

LOL.....pocket knife?? Holy pooter!! I like the cut job, looks awesome!! I might cut mine similar to that. :D

[yfz450rida]

Looks awesome fellas!!! :cool:

[#17YFZRACER]

the bottom part of yfz450rida's are better than mine. i left to much fender there. i followed the bends of the plastic. need to fix that yet but other than that i love them.

[Moto49X]

Hey man, I am thinking about cutting mine, get some more pics of your quad, that looks awesome!!!

[#17YFZRACER]

i say just do it. not bad at all.:ermm:

[TheNewn]

Am i really the only one who thinks this type of cut in the front looks ugly as sin?

[#17YFZRACER]

yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh:eek:

[T-BONE#29]

Hey matt looks pretty nice can't wait to see how it races.:D

[#17YFZRACER]

fo sho:devil:

[#17YFZRACER]

anybody else try a cut like this?

[#17YFZRACER]

this wouldnt be a bad sticky either. if we turn it into a fender cuts thread with all the different cuts. but whats the point we cant get something important as engine oil problems stickied. :ermm:

I know some buddies that have cut there front fenders and they used jigsaws then the sand it down and take a torch or lighter to it, came out good so nothing i can say to them lol. Looks fine to me even if you used a pocket knife, GJ!

[xtylerx]

jigsaw worked good for me.

[reconmaster]

very good job looks wicked

looks good. I'm about to go to my garage and cut my new fenders like that. my old fenders where cut like that to and I <3'd it.

BTW, jigsaw FTW. it cuts like butter.
