race cut plastics

[compose2]

i was thinking about cutting the front plastics on my shee, but was sure if i would end up liking it. i live in ohio where we get a lot of snow in the winter and rain in the spring. if i cut the front plastics, am i gonna get pelted with snow or mud?

u bet cha, I noticed I was covered with dirt after riding, but it looks alot cooler with them cut..

 

 

Its like having a "PIT BULL" without his ears cropt.

 

He would just look meaner!

I think it all comes down to personal preference. I wouldnt do mine. A lot of my friends have thier cut though.

I ride only dunes, but I did notice once on an unhelmeted trip to the shitters that the sand really flipped up in my face. I'd assume anything else you ride in would do the same. When my sister had a Blaster she had the fenders hacked off. I took it for a ride through her yard and through the biggest nugget of dog shit I'd ever seen. I just parked it right there.

What happened to you guys, a couple years ago this question was asked and you all said "if your a good rider, your supose to get dirty riding no matter if you have fenders or not, so whats the difference", cut em!" Now everybodys sayin ew dirt keep em........ sry sometimes i miss the old hq

 

Anyways, I cut mine and I race MX and SX and didnt really notice a difference in the dirt change. Like I said... your gonna get dirty if you go riding no matter what, thats the point of a quad

[Big Blue]

mine arent cut yet but i think i get just as dirty from my rear tires as i would the fronts

Exactly. I don't get any muddier with mine cut than when I had them.

 

Plus they look better cut.

you can see you're front tires better for cornering, sure i do catch alot of mud in the face but it doesn't seem to throw sand near as bad as mud . to me getting dirty is part of riding.

Cut them. I get a little dirty when riding in wet stuff but nothing a helmet and goggles can't handle.

Cut'em man they'll look MEAN.

Get rid of the Dumbo ears, get a little dirty, and make up a wild story about how u got dirty!!!...

[bansheefreak]

i'd say cut them.. you are goin to get dirty anyways... LOSE THE DUMBO EARS..

[Banchetta]

If you ride any amount of mud, then I wouldn't. I did it to one of my older shees and regretted it. I dont' mind getting dirty or muddy, but I hate mud all over my goggles or in the eyes..when you turn the wheel, it just slings it right in your face.

It does make you get a little dirtier. But if you do not want to get dirty than just dont ride. Its like lifting a truck and keeping the stock tires on. Just does not look right. The banshee looks so much better with the fenders cut.

[banshee tuner]

I get dirtier from the rear tires than the fronts and still have rear fenders. If you don't like getting dirty trade that thing on a truck.
