Shaved Fenders Annoying?

[02Yellow400]

I have been thinking about shaving my front fenders. But arent i going to get covered in mud and constantly getting hit with rocks and stuff? I mostly ride like big open pits and trails. If im gonna get nailed with alot of stuff while riding im not gonna do it. But if those of you have it done and it doesnt really bother you let me know

This is the way I see it...if your out on the trail and you run through a puddle, no matter what your going to get dirty...with or without fenders...theres no way wou will go through and stay clean, so you might as well hack them if you like the look ;)

Im ready to start hacking on that new predator of ours...:D :cool: Its all in preference,but I like them cut myself,and I dont notice rocks and mud anymore than if I had left them on.....

I can't ride with fenders anymore. It feels to weird. After a few weeks you get used to how much dirtier you get and it doesn't feel to bad.

I forgot to mention,its really nice to be able to see your front see the and tires and what you are riding over ;)

I had race cuts for one ride. It was my biggest mistake to date. I had to stop every 100 yards and clean my goggles. Yes, you get dirty with stock fenders, but you get 200 times muddier with race cuts. I could see having them if you rode the dunes exclusively, but if you trail ride in wet conditions, there is no place for it.

i cut mine and love it , yeah i get a lil more muddy but it isnt enough for me to wish i still have them i love mine off ive never get hit with rocks and stuff i climb lots of hills so seeing what your front end is going over is nice

[tants]

if you ride mostly trails dont do it. you do get more muddy

[NTPRacing#19]

i love the more visabilty you have of the ground

[eldoexrider01]

i ride mostly in trails, and with the fenders it still slung stuff past the fenders. i never noticed any rocks being slung up. if you turn real sharp and lean into the turn, you might get a lil dirt or sand on you. but hey we dont ride to stay clean.

If you only ride trails then keep the fenders on. JMO

[mxdave28]

heres a thought....dont cut them completely race cut..... do some trimming that will open your view a little, change the look of your quad, and yet, still give ya some protection from the mud that will get to you no matter what ya do;) :blah

I like em better for racing, you can check your lines and they look way cool

[stroked300ex]

i wanna shave my fenders to make them looked flared. I like the way any fourwheeler looks with shaved fenders.... a 250ex looks tight with shaved.... HOPEFULLY MY soon to be 30 will to.. peace.. and dude.. shave ur fenders.. ull love the look and feel lol.. peace

[flying400ex]

Well after i shaved mine I just noticed that dirt mostly would miss me and accumulate on the corners of the back fender. I love em shaved.

[02Yellow400]

Its usually not to muddy where i ride. There is always the occasional puddle but normally i am aiming for it anyway and im not usually that worried about getting dirty.

I am going to Hatfiled Mccoy apriil 10th - 15th. Its probobly going to be good and muddy thier so i will most likely do it after that ride. Thanks for all the input.

[zfire_28]

I say shave 'em. I ride in alot of muddy chit and i don't think that i get much muddier than before. plus they are great on the trails.

[QuadTrix6]

i shaved mine and love them.........as long as its dry out :ermm:

[QuadJunkies]

How do you think that predator will look shaved?? I am thinking on doing it this week on my day off.. I saw a pic Of Daryl Raths I think,and I loved it...:blah

I totally agree just hack em off.

Shaved fenders rock. When you run full fenders its gay. I have mine jagged cut and it gives it a sweet look. I like to see my whole front end as well. Like to see the shock movement also. I like getting muddy. If you dont want to get muddy get some honda rancher plastic and full floor boards. If you dont want to get dirty................ go home ya pansey! Never had trouble with sticks or rocks with cut front fenders.

:huh

i have the maier race cuts with some fender add ons when its super muddy out i put the add ons on but when its nice out you can just take em off and have the race cuts, but i would cut them its a heck of a lot nicer being able to see where your goin when your riding wheelies with race cuts on.

[RideRed04]

Dont do it for the look. This time of year, you will hate it. I've ridden 400's in the rain, and you get a constant stream of water on your boots, its really bad. On mine, its fine. I will only cut mine when I have another set of full ones. In the dry summer and winter, cut is awsome. During the spring, like I said, you will curse yourself for doing it.

[02Yellow400]

I am going to shave my fenders tommorow (saturday) ill put some pics up when I am done.

[phatswinn]

hack the mutha ***ers off, ya dont get anymore dirty and ya you have have to hear the rattle of the fenders in the wind

[mopar 400]

They sure look perty shaved!

[ridered86]

what kind of shaving creme should i use????:confused: :D






















go for it, i shaved mine and dont regret it (my fenders):blah

[Chanman420q]

i have both race and non race fendors :)

[02Yellow400]

I did it. I cut them off. They look really really good. I will get some pictures soon and put them so you can see how i did them.

[Quadfather]

If someone tells you that you don't get any muddier with race cuts, they've never ridden with them. You get 100 times muddier.
