I just got a 2000 300ex a week ago and I was thinking about having the front fenders shaved down. Is this a pretty common thing? I think they look kind of goofy stock, but I dont want to spend the money for aftermarket plastic. Any advice or opinions is appreciated.

A lot of people does it, but if you ride in any wet or muddy conditions, you will get covered with mud.

^^^^Agreed I have mine shaved a little on my 300 utility 4x4 and get covered in mud!

Use masking tape to draw your lines before you cut. Like they said, If you do anything other than MX I recommend leaving them on.

Well most of the ridin ill be doing is dirt track and grass at my buddies place but it might see a little bit of mud. How about looks though? Does it look alright bein cut down?

yah i but miear race cut plastics and i ride in the mud and rain and mud pits and i also go to the my track if u hit the mud fast anof the mud goes around u

i cut my bros 300 fenders....just cut the front or top part from the nose straight on an angle to right where the fender drops down and not the back and you should be fine in everything just imagine where the mud flying off your tires would go and leave that there....but def use masking tape for a straight line i used my metal cutter off my air line but anything should do and you can always sand them afterwards

cut for track, stock of trails, i dont like comming home full of mud on my arms after riding in the woods.

I have full fenders and still get covered during race...

Well it depends on your taste, yes it looks good but the function doesn't serves right.

look at it this way if your going riding plan on getting very muddy shaved fenders or not i rode mine for 6 months without any plastics

I wouldn't cut em, if your curious as to how dirty it will get, ride without the front plastic on, and just go through some wet grass, and come back and let us know if you want to cut your fenders.


Now I have thought of redesigning them, but that's because I have 400ex front a arms, and the durablue 2+2 axle in the rear, making my fenders useless for mud protection.

So I might try to add heat to the front, and see if I can't pull the fenders out a little to cover the front tires a little more.

I can deal with the back, but the front throws it right in your face on turns.

Wow, I hate it when 4 year old threads are brought up for a useless comment.

Makes others think it's up to date if it goes to the next page like this.
