1 and 3 are off the same ATV, just different views. i personally like 4, but i am not sure what i want to do. i have heard different methods of cutting fenders, but i am leaning towards a jigsaw. i plan on using blue painters tape to mask off the area i want to cut, and then go from there. if anyone else has any othe input on what to do, i would really appreciate your response.

oh yeah, and has anyone ever airbrushed onto ATV fenders? i think when i cut my fenders i will try painting a design onto the scrap pieces with my airbrush gun.

yeah #1 is sweet. i am leaning towards either that or 4. the only problem with 1 is the stock fender supports show. its not that big of a deal, i just dont know if that will look goofy from a side angle. thanks alot for your input.

i would go with one but i think it would be hard to make it exactly like that

yeah i think your right trx23rider, hey get on AOL! i want to talk to you about my next investment! also, i think i am cutting my fenders within the next couple of days!

I would go with 1 or 3....since it is my bike .......LOL

!!! The fender supports show in both, 1 & 4, I painted mine black to blend more into the plastics. Cutting was simple, I just followed the lines that where already in the plastics.

dude thats sweet! i saw it on the predatorowners site, and knew that was gonna be one of my favorite! i am thinking of doing something like that but making it slightly different(i dont want to copy yours exactly!

)

I just used some white masking tape and taped up the fenders and lined-out a couple of ideas. Then I used a hacksaw blade and cut them. Sanded the edges carefully, then went over the edges with one of those portable propane torch deals to blend and smooth the edges to give the edges the factory look (CAREFUL with the fire! Easy to go bad at this point!!).
