Why do people cut off there FRONT FENDER FLARES

[MeanHoTRoD_93883]

whats the advantage of cutting your front fender flares will the aero dynamics matter will your banshee be faster whith no fender flares or shaved ones?

Well I mainly did it cause it looka a hellofa lot better. Also it has to cut down on drag. Those front fender are just a couple of big scoops.

they look much better cut,also the wind drag theory and you can see where your tires are going pretty crucial when racing

Picked up almost 4 mph in the 300ft sand drags with the front fenders clipped.

Racers often do it so they can see exactly where the tires are at. I did it partly for looks but afterwards, I realized how much easier it was to fly through tighter trails or XC courses.

 

Just do it and quit worrying about it...

so people can eat mud, water, sand, when they ride. yeah the look nice but when you go thru a pasture thats been rained on and get enough roost off the fronts, it becomes a pain.

 

 

if racing, or sand dunes 24/7 i would go for it.but not when there is mud adn water involved i get tired of that crap on me

Because they like to flex? and bend and break right there near the seat? I know mine were starting to show mass wear right there cutt them and less wear.

Just cut them. It looks alot better and I honestly think that the ride is better. I like to see where the front wheels are.

Like tsuther said its cool to see your tires. Even more cool is to see your dual rate elka at work through some rough stuff.

 

Just cut em

I agree. I think it comes down to personal preference. Mine arent cut yet, but I'm sure as soon as they start getting beat to hell i will cut them.

So when you ride in mud you come back perfectly clean due to your front fenders? Last time I rode any mud I was just as dirty as the guy that had front fenders.

[tsuther78]

I personally think that the fenders are set to high to really block any mud or sand. Just pretty much pointless.

[H250RHATER]

the only thing i would be worryed about is that a rock will dent my pipes

is that a common acourance??

Dive into a corner 3 wide in 5th gear wide open....I wanna know exactly where that front tire is!!!!! The mudd washes off.
