looks sweet man, i love that cut on the yami. i was even thinking about doing it to my honda i seen a couple cuts that were similar to that.

thanks

they look cool, nice job.

I an thinking about doing this to my yfz, do your fenders wobble at all?

All you used was a pocket knife? Did you sand them or anything after you cut them?

Posted by: #17YFZRACER

yeah, i sanded and used a liter to get the color back. they dont wobble at all really. there has to be something better than a pocket knife though that was really hard.

Posted by: #17YFZRACER

i think i need to do a little somethin, somethin with the bottoms yet they still look weird.

nice job for a pocket knife. for future reference, 'offset snips' work wonders cutting fenders.

i cant believe i didnt think of that

as far as anybody else that wants to do it, just do it. trying to decide if you want to do it hurts more than actually doing it

oh, and dont use a pocket knife

it makes a nice smooth cut but you need arms like trees to do it. it sucked so bad.

LOL.....pocket knife?? Holy pooter!! I like the cut job, looks awesome!! I might cut mine similar to that.

Posted by: TheNewn

Am i really the only one who thinks this type of cut in the front looks ugly as sin?

Posted by: #17YFZRACER

yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Posted by: T-BONE#29

Hey matt looks pretty nice can't wait to see how it races.

Posted by: #17YFZRACER

fo sho

Posted by: #17YFZRACER

anybody else try a cut like this?

Posted by: #17YFZRACER

this wouldnt be a bad sticky either. if we turn it into a fender cuts thread with all the different cuts. but whats the point we cant get something important as engine oil problems stickied.

I know some buddies that have cut there front fenders and they used jigsaws then the sand it down and take a torch or lighter to it, came out good so nothing i can say to them lol. Looks fine to me even if you used a pocket knife, GJ!

Posted by: xtylerx

jigsaw worked good for me.

Posted by: reconmaster

very good job looks wicked

Posted by: nofearrider1

looks good. I'm about to go to my garage and cut my new fenders like that. my old fenders where cut like that to and I <3'd it.

BTW, jigsaw FTW. it cuts like butter.
