On a banshee its almost a must because your tires will come off the groundat high speeds, On a Warrior i dont think you really need it.

I had a warrior and cut the fenders on it. I loved it when I was done. You do get muddy but being able to see your tire it is easier to dodge. I didn't do mine for speed purposes I just liked the way it looked.

I havnt seen a quad that didnt look better with NICELY shaved fenders yet.
Key word. CLEAN. Do a good even job.

ps. On a Zilla, it is an absolute MUST!!!!!!!!!

You can see the shaved fenders on my Zilla, and my 440EX. (sold)

this is off topic, but mr350x u have an odd cat, lol, its like a mix of 5 diffrent cat body parts put together, lol


on tpic: i seen a warrior yesterday with the fenders trimmed, looked but ugly, BUT, does help with performance.....so its all up to u dude, if u do alot of trails/flat land, that has mud, id keep em on, but if u ride alot of dry/dusty terrain or mx, id shave em in a flash..

LOL speaking of shaved,(fenders[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]) that cat is completely shaved. (save for tail and legs)
He is a gigantic cat, and has 6 toes on one foot, and 7 on the other. He is very huge, and very strange!! (but an AWSOME personality)


Knowsalot, thanks for the reply.
I was also wondering what type of racing has a 440CC cap?
AND, in these races (motoX?) is this for 2 strokes also?
Or is the 2 stroke limit 250CC in MotoX?

It seems to me that a 440CC 2 stroke would have a huge power advantage over a 440CC
4 stroke. (hence my question about the 250CC 2 stroke limit)

I think he's talking about the GNC circut. It is moto-x and I think the 2smoke limit is 265.

Pretty funny. Do you have any pictures of your sold 350x? A friend of mine has one and I haven't seen a nicer looking one in awhile. All it has is a DG Krome Light pipe but it is real clean.

Oh man, my 350X was immaculate. Absolutely beautifull.
I wish I didnt have to sell it, but at the time I did. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Loved that machine.

See pics here

Actually I only have one picture of it there, but its a good one.
Everything you see on that bike is original. (tank, stickers, plastic, ect.)
Only things visible that are not orig: The fork covers, (they were just TOO clean to be original, they couldnt have been) and the rear wheels.
That thing ran like a bull.

I think it makes them look alot better. I cut mine and it added 8 mph to the top end and I think it gets up to speed a little quicker. It was pretty easy and well worth it. I didnt go with the standered race cut, I left a little bit of the fender between my face and the front tires so it would cut down dirt in my face as much as possible. Take a look at my sig ( my warrior) and see what you think.
