HellOnWheels860304 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 I have a 2003 banshee and I see alot of them with the front fenders shaved or cut off completly. Does this help with performance or is it just for looks? Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 helps you see the ground a lil better, and looks trick, but you get a lil muddy, cut them bunny ears! Quote
ranshee Posted March 8, 2004 Report Posted March 8, 2004 You should cut them. I heard you will gain at least 8 horses or so. And also when you jump it will keep you from doin that pesky back flip thing Quote
HellOnWheels860304 Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Posted March 9, 2004 Hey thanks for the info guys. I just ordered some sick flame graphics and with those and the fenders gone it will look great for this summer. Thanks again for the tip. Quote
banshee tuner Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Cut them wind grabbing elephant ears off. I debated on doing it myself but have no regrets. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 WAIT!! It depends on where you ride. With my cut front fenders, I won't ride when it's muddy and wet. Because all that shit on the ground WILL end up all over you. It will get all up under your helmet, in your teeth, up your nose..your goggles will be mudded out in under 5 min. If you run tear off..you'll burn alot. You won't stay dry..your gear will go to crap fast from all the excess washing to keep it clean. I'm thinking of getting a second fron fender assy w/ the fenders still on just for rainy days. Quote
99screaminshee Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Get youself some fullbores he said he wants it to look great not GAY keep ur stock fenders ull save lots of $$ for mods and ur quad will look better i didnt cut mine i dont like bein drownded in muddy smelly water plus it kinda keeps the rocks away from body lol Quote
checkster Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 I love how cut fender look, but have not cut mine cause half the time where I ride is muddy. check Quote
HellOnWheels860304 Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Posted March 10, 2004 I dont like to ride in the mud or rain, so Ill prolly cut , but my next question is where? I was thinking on cutting then right next the part of the plastic that has the screw this way I still could have support. Is this a good idea? and what should I use to cut them with. Hack saw, dremel, what makes a clean cut so theres less sanding and painting? Quote
ledofthezep Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 I just taped off a pattern with some electrical tape & followed it with a fine blade on a jigsaw. Just go slow & take your time. Worked like a champ. Some use razor blades, some use hacksaw blades, plastic cutters, whatever you prefer...the jigsaw gig worked out the best for me. Quote
McSkinner Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Check under the fenders after your next ride. If you see they're really caked with mud, then they're working. I found that my fenders didn't really catch much mud anyway, but I knew once I cut them they'd be gone forever. So, I just cut them down a little at a time right now they're the same shape as the stock ones, but they're about half the size. I think it looks damn good, and it doesn't look like every body else on the block. If I decide I want them gone later, I can chop em, but, once they're gone, they're gone. sorry for the long read.
