I have a 2000 400EX and I am debating whether I should cut the front fenders or not. I do alot of woods riding and drag racing. What is everyones opinion on this?????

I'm thinking 'bout cutting mine too...I think it looks sharp I just heard that you will get a lot muddier from the water/mud flying off the front wheels, anyone know how much muddier you do get with the race-cut front fenders?

If you race then I would cut them but if you don't race then why would ya???? And yes, if you do cut them and you like riding in mud and ect. then obviously you are gonna get alot muddier with the cut fenders versus the fenders not cut!!! But, its up to you!!

I'm going to buy another set and cut the set that is on there now
after all a new set is pretty cheap.

I say cut them..........IF, you are trail riding & like to eat mud :)

my buddy's 250R has cut fenders & he gets plastered with mud every time we ride. here is proof!

Also think about headlights if you want them in both sets, they are a pain to be switching back and forth. I will have a mint set of 400ex headlights for sale after the winter when I am done rebuilding. If you want them let me know. They are mint, no scratches on the lenses (they always had nac's headlight covers on them) the top tab isnt broekn off like most other used ones are, bulbs work perfect and everything is in good order. 100$ firm

That guy looked to be stuck pretty good! Im not sure about the 250R, but what i liked best about my old blaster was that when it got stuck you could just pick it up & move it out. Its a tottaly different story with the 300 though!

it took some serious winch work to suck that puppy out of there. 440ex_in_VA from this bulletin board winched him out with his polaris.

if you cut the fenders you will get sprayed right in your eyes every time you hit mud or water!!:(

sunglasses or somethin-

sure you'll get sprayed but you know...
lay down on the gas tank tuck in your elbows
and gas it- all the mud fly's right by you-
work you clutch and gas from under the handle bars-
works for me-

3punks dad-
