Chopping the fenders

[SonOfSand]

Here's a couple pics of my bikes. mostly race cut but one pic has a pic with a more dune cut with just a trimmed rear fender.. hope this helps.

 

Great job on your Shee's... gorgeous. I see you have CPIs and Shearers, which do you prefer?

Here are a couple of pics of mine cut with 2 different styles.

 

 

This was how they were cut with full rears for a whole.

 

This is what I changer to and finished with when I updated my bike.

 

I used a jig saw and sanded the edges smooth, then went over it with a torch to smooth it out.

thanks for the compliments!. Um, to me the shearers and the CPI's seem to have a very similiar powerband. Seems like the shearer is just a little more peaky. I just went with the Shearers on the red bike cause alot of people run the CPI's and not so much the sheares so I wanted to be different. But I had them show chromed since i didn't care for the nickle chrome that comes from matt.

Nice pics guys, I'm going to cut mine soon. I plan to use a die grinder with a thin cutoff wheel.

[manny 2004 banshee]

Be careful with the air grinder, i used that and hot plastic flying at you doesn't feel good. I ended up just heating up a knife for the rough cut, then used a file to grind down the pretty noticeable blemishes, then a sander to make it perfect. Once I was done I used a torch to give the edges the soft feel

There untamped CPI's with Cascade silencers with the turn down cap. You can see them at www.cascadeinnovations.net.

As far as cutting the fenders, I lay down the design that I want with masking tape and use a body saw to cun about an 1/8 inch from the line and the I use an 18 inch air file to sand upto the masking tape lines!! The large surface of the air file makes for super straight line and a clean finish! Just my .02, but we cut fenders all the time as we order out fenders raw and untrimmed from Fast Fibers!!
