The fenders unbolt from the plastic that surrounds the frame.

I was planning on buying a suzuki 450 when they are finally released,but im going to hold of until someone makes a non-space ship looking fender kit for it. i actually heard rumors that the plastics look lt250r-ish,boy what a dissapointment for me,im not saying i know whats cool and im not saying everyone should think its ugly,but i think it looks very trendy and run of the mill,and i was hoping for something cooler
Just stick with your old quad and quik complaining. I think it looks bad ***. You know this is the year 2006 model year not 1988

it looks ok, yfz is a bit pointy, 450r with the stupid headlight and to tall of stance and atk/cannondale still looks like a frog but from how the specs looks, its going to be an awsome machine and if sombody dont like the headlight take it off and get a qaudtech carbon hood on it and throw on a set of trailtechs. these things will be ready for it by the time it comes out anyway im sure.

It's interesting that there is no contact between the inside edge of the front fenders and the plastic that encompasses the frame, up by the tank, anybody else notice that?

Another question:

YFZ has 20" rear tires with a seat height of 31.9
R450 has 18" rear tires with a seat height of 30.7

This is a difference of 1.2", so, if they both ran 20" sand tires, wouldn't the YFZ sit lower?
