I want to cut the fenders on my 01 400ex but don't want to mess them up i want that 400ex flare anyone have any tips? Or a site that explains how to do it? thanks

 

well you just need to use a hack saw blade..and get several types of fine sand paper....start with some fine..then just move lower..

it takes time..but when you are done it looks great

 

I used a jig-saw and a palm sander. I just followed the bends in the fender. Took 15 minutes tops. Looks great. I will snap some pics in the few days.

 

Buy some 1/4 in black wide pinstriping and lay out diffrent patterns untill you get somthing you like. I used a jigsaw to cut the main cut on the outside of the striping the took a Dremel with a rotory sander untill i got the roughness out. then sanded with 220 then 400 then 600. To finish it all off I took a heat gun to the edge just untill the whiteness of the sanding went away.(practice on the removed plastic first!!!!!!)
Patience=quality. Email if you want pics.

 

A friend and I cut mine today. We used a sharpie marker and drew the design. Then, used a hacksaw to cut the plastic. Then, used a dremel tool to round and smooth the edges. I'd make sure to cut a good bit of extra plastic, so if you mess up, you'll have plenty left over. Then, after you're done, you can trim the leftover plastic you don't want off. It's not as hard as it looks. Good luck!

 

Follow 400xxx advice also helps to make template perhaps out of flexible material I used poster- board to make mine onTRX250R looks good.
