Default Chopped fenders

i just got done chopping the fenders on my predator, i used a jig saw with a steel cutting blade to cut most of it off, then smoothed everything with a dremel tool and a sandpaper block. you can see the pictures by clicking the camera under my name, lemmy know what you guys think.

i tried to keep as much of the plastic that is usually effective on there, but in my mud experience it only hit the edge of the full fenders and splatterd a little onto what is existing currently, so if anything, my legs are still going to get coated in mud [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

the point of cutting the rear fenders is for two things looks as well as wind resistance. those front fenders catch a ton of air at 40mph

as for the additiona mud off the front tires., the stock fenders don't catch much and i did notice a small difference after cutting them but not near enough to regret it. i ride alot in the mud so i know first hand.
