Words of wisdom: no matter how stupid you think it looks or how floppy the fenders are, once you cut them you will find ANY mud will be propelled right into your face.

I don't really regret cutting mine, it does look better and still block some of the mud, but not as much. I only did it because mine were messed up from a wreck. Really I'm lookig into putting the 99-04 plastics on mine for that classic look

i actually love that cut new plastic if youd get your stickers organized it makes it look like straight ****. ive got over 1000 stickers in a shoe box, 50% of the members on here would cram as many as they could on there quad. get some +2's and suspension and an axle and diff bars and that bike would be sexy!
