Anyone cut their Warrior fenders?

[uncledavid218]

I was looking through some picutures in various forums and have noticed a few people have cut their front fenders. Personally, I think that it not only looks SWEET but also allows for better view of the ground and surrounding areas. I know basically how to do it: make some lines of what you think to like right in washable marker, score the lines with a utility knife a few times (though it doesn't entirely matter what), and sand afterwards. Now in theory this sounds easy, but in practice how hard is it?

Here's what mine looks like without the fenders on. All I need to do is make the cuts!

(my dad collects tractors if you're wondering about that! We have about 300...)

thats why we wanted to shave ours...for better view and the lights gone helps alot too

Its not that hard to do-just take some time and be patient-sand"to the line"

 

[warriorspeed350]

use a dremel drill...the utility knife will look like poopy on a roaster

I would just cut the extra black off of the fender its not a good idea to cut the whole thing, you will not be protected from mud and debris

Is there any place to buy the covers for the empty light slot, or is it something that needs to be fabricated? Would it be worth buying a new nose peice without the hole?

Where did you get those plastics!? How much did those bad boys cost if you don't mind me asking?

Right now you have to make your own light gap cover if you want one, I don't think anybody is selling them anymore. From time to time somebody sells them on here, but I don't think anyone is now.

The only hood that doesn't have the light gap is the one from the 87-88 warriors, and most guys don't like the look of them because they're too steep and stubby looking.

BINGO!

They will be lazer cut with the Yamaha text logo, and probably polished aircraft grade aluminum.

I am still working out the best design of the prototypes.

I may be able to offer them without the logo and possibly without the polishing for those who want to paint theirs.

The bum wing is slowing me down a bit on these, since I have to cut the prototypes by hand with tin snips. I was hoping to have them available already.

I will probably start a Testing Interest thread soon to determine the qty of my first lot.

Stay tuned for more info.
