Any one know how I can reduce the amount of mud that covers me from head to foot when I take the Warrior mudding? Anyone make extensions for the side and rear of the rear fenders? or maybe replacing fenders with after market units that are larger?

I have not seen any fender extentions for a warrior.
When there is mud..It's hard to avoid getting covered with a sport machine.

You might look into making your own extentions out of flaps for a truck or the like.

After market companies like mier are replica plastics...so I doubt they will be bigger.

well a warrior is a trail and track bike, not for mudding if your serious about mudding swap it for a big bear 4 wheel drive lock the front end up lift it and add 26 inch swampers and wear hip waders and the world is your oyster

Thanks for all the input on my question. I'm going to have to get some truck mud flaps and add those to my Warrior. I was just hoping to find something that would look better than a do-it-yourself fix. Oh-well.
As for the comment about getting a 4-wheel drive. Go away. If I wanted a slow heavy, did I say slow and heavy, well let me say it again, a slow heavy, hard to steer, automatic clutched woman's quad, that can't be slid around turns, then I'd buy one. Polaris's scrambler line is the only one I would consider that has enough get up and go, but right now I would be concerned about reliability. As soon as the Raptor comes out with 4 wheel drive, then I'll be the first in line, but for now I'll just ride the Warrior and live with taking more mudd showers than I would like. Be good and get out of my way!

Mud is just plain fun on a 2wd.
My bud has a Polaris sportsman I have the Suzuki LT250r. He dont get stuck, But I have more fun.
He has to slow down for a serious bump I get to fly over it
I wanna get a wqrrior cause I want reverse and a electric start...

Wear a rainsuit enjoy da ride
A Sport ride can jump more mud thana 4wd can throw!

I have to disagree there speedy. Even doing 35 sometimes doesn't help. I've tried it many times..lol eventually you will stop. I like it though when there's mud with about 6" of water on top. Hit full blast and skip over it like a stone.
