Go to that thread from a while back about Farr's race bike. It has the fenders removed. I don't know what you think you're going to be cutting on, when you take off the fenders all that is left is the radiator shrouds.

i hope someone makes a nice looking hood for it to remove the lights and make the nose look alittle longer. if something like that is made i think the whole front fender design would look much better shaved or unshaved.

to cut the fenders would be dumb, if you everraced a mud race, u should know. The fenders are easily removed, just like the new arctic cat 400.

you all make good points about the front fenders being removeable, but i just done like a quad with no front fenders. i also dont like just the radiator shrouds. i plan on covering up the shrouds with some black vinal and will cute the outside of the fenders kinda like what a set of 250r fenders looks. i promis it will look good. but this is also mine and everone else can build theirs like they want, :blah: oh and about the mud racing, haha i dont race in the mud, i grew up on oval and tt racing.

the fenders are probably cheap enough you could cut one set and buy another set for mud racing and change them as needed and I have raced mx in the mud with fenders and without and the fenders don't hardly make a differance i think the ds 650 with them down on the tire is the best place for fenders to stop the the mud before it flings all over

I think the rad shrouds are excelent candidates for the first thing on the bike that I make out of carbon fiber. Think about it, they have no stress from flapping up and down like the fenders and they would look badass in a red/black carbon kevlar or just plain black twill.:eek2: :D


Pssst....... fibe ind. are you reading this?
