I'm not sure if there's a thread but when I cut mine a used a dremel with a tile cutting bit....worked very well. What I did was figured out what I wanted to cut off and then layed a piece of tape down for reference. I started at the bottom rear of the fender and cut along the tape. once it was all off I used some sand paper and smoothed everything out.

Make tape lines, so you go straight, then use a dremel like handy said. Works great, sand it smooth. :thumbsup:

I have a pneumatic saw made by Ingersol that I used to use. Now, I just buy Fullbores.

I'm still tryin' to figure out how I want to do mine...............

start bigger and slowly move down until you find a size you are comfortable with, don't just cut them all off at once

use a jigsaw with a very FINE blade on it and usually marl fenders with tape or a marker. :thumbsup:

ya start big work ur way down u might find a custom way thats sick :thumbsup: i use a jig and have a buddy hold the plastic and go at it

[dynodon]

Same as most have already said, Except we used a jig saw with a " Down cut " blade. Mark it out with masking tape, to make sure your lines are straight with each other. Then sand down the edges with some fine sand paper, justto take the sharp edges off.

have a friend help hold them while cutting. Just take your time and you`ll do fine :biggrin:

What bit did you use? I tried the Rotozip but it would melt the plastic..

Since it was summer we let the bike sit in the 100 degree temp which will soften the plastic.

Sharp utility knife sliced it like butter!

it was the plastic/vinyl cutting bit.......worked awesome

only time it melted the plastic was when the depth stop came out of adjustment and the bit went too deep

Right on, I went to Home Depot & asked for a plastic bit & told me there was no such thing! Damn basturds!! And I believed :: & took something else. Now I know. The rear Maier plastic is thicker so I think I give that Rotozip another shot! Thanks.
