first of all this topic belongs in the OFF TOPIC forum...

now...first make sure u cut your stuff for a reason, not just to look like an fmxer...i hate posers that cut fenders and dosent even do the tricks.

heres how i cut my grab holes:

I heated up a knife with a blowtorch, so it was almost glowing, then i cut it after the marks ive done earlier on the sidepanel. The melted edges of the plastic makes it very hard, and thats good. owell hope it works

[ont.freerider]

yeah i agree. i don't know what tricks you can do but if you can't don't cut your fenders and handholes. do it for a reason bro.

[motokx]

WHAT YOU GUYS ASSUME THAT I CANT TRICK BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER CUTPLASTIC BEFORE? WHATS UP WITH THAT. WHAT CAN YOU GUYS PULL? WHATS YOUR SICKEST? MINE IS EIHER A SUNAMI; A 9 O'CLOCK NAC; OR A FENDER KISS. ~PEACE

[mxrider32]

I dougt you can pull a tsunami

[crustyfmx250]

theres been a few posts on this, and its extremely simple.

for the grab holes, all ya gotta do is trace from inside the airbox, onto the side panel, and then cut it with whatever...hacksaw, knife, jigsaw, anything sharp.

for the rear fender, ive read of 1 guy using a CD to draw the shape to cut out, so it gets a nice round curve.

Got any pics of these tricks?

[motokx]

i dont have any at the moment..but we r ging to start filming this season on our movie...we're calling it LEAP FROM HELL. we will be doin everything in it from freestyle...to back country...to hill climbing...but i want my bike to look ill for the movie...thats y i bought the new kit nd plastic...as soon as we can get out riding again we will have some pics. ill make a thred when that time comes...but right now there is ice every wher s0o we have to wait.. thanks

[ont.freerider]

hahaha why the hell are you yelling bro,


thats the reason i said " i don't know if you can pull tricks" ya Dumb a**

[WaussInd]

I'm sorry... but I'm not going to believe you about your Tsunami until you show me ;)

[mxrider32]

ya bro lets see some pictures

[WaussInd]

MINE IS EIHER A SUNAMI; A 9 O'CLOCK NAC; OR A FENDER KISS

A fender kiss isn't really all that hard ;) There's a big difficulty gap with your tricks.. lol.

[Jester]

yeah... i doubt it too... we need proof bro ;) but either way, it doesnt matter if you can or not, we dont care..... but the fact that you can do all that, but you dont know how to cut grab holes makes us wonder.....

[Arker]

maybe a fender kiss is really hard because he is short, i dunno:p

[.coMM]

I agree with ya SevenInd...i think this kid is confused about trick names and what the actual trick is..heres what i think he meant to say...'tsunami' = no footer '9 '0'clock nac' = candy bar and 'fender kiss' = well he got that one right...congrats to you bro...ure hardcore

[WaussInd]

but the fact that you can do all that, but you dont know how to cut grab holes makes us wonder.....

Yeah man :) They don't have to be perfect or anything, they just have to serve their purpose. I mean... I took a pencil and a hacksaw and went to work on mine. I wanted to learn seat grabs... not look like I was a pro :)

Since you're working up to those big Tsunami's... you could even just take off one side panel and grab up under the frame.

[star_fish]

oh yeah
well i can pull no handed kod's with a sidesaddle no handed lander!!!!
hehehehe

[RedBull]

i just took a lil nail traced a small lil scrape in the fender then busted out the dremal and went to work

[localboy]

i cut my fender on my 125, and i used a hacksaw and for smoothing it out i used a De burrer

[motokx]

thanks a lot to everyone who replied!! ~jay:D

[Mack15]

Hey could u guys with grab holes an shortened fenders post sum pics? id liek to see what they look like before i do mine. my friend did his an they look like crap! id like mine to look at least half decent.

[WaussInd]

Here's mine. My grab holes are way small right now.. but they work. I'll get a picture when I expand them. My seat has also been shaved since this picture.. just so ya know.. lol

[Mack15]

your bike looks sweet
im not gettin a new bike till this summer soo. i have no bike to ride at the moment!

[AusFMX]

Hey cody man does your dice line up now with the cut out seat?

[motokx]

hey what do u do when you say shaved down my seat??:confused:

[FullThrottleSMP]

they shave the foam off the seat to make the seat thinner, or lower so its easier to bring your legs over for no footed cans, nacs, etc

[crustyfmx250]

an for seat grabs ;)

[motokx]

hey how much plastic should i leave when i shave down my fenders? ima only take about an inch off the front but i dont know about the back? its a 02 kx125 thanks

[shaolin]

no offence but u sound like your only doing this to look good, the front fender isnt even neccesary it just makes it look more even. and if your not trying seat grabs, indian airs or other grab tricks you dont need a cut back fender

[motokx]

ooo okay thanks a lot:D

[RedBull]

i think tommy clowers leaves 6in on his but i just heard it some were but i think six inches is about right

[RedBull]

or it could be 6 in off i cant remember:confused:

[crustyfmx250]

but clowers rides a cr.....

[WaussInd]

Hey cody man does your dice line up now with the cut out seat?

No. Well.. the dice kinda does.. but the rest of it doesn't even come close... lol. Here's a picture. I just got them developed tonight.

And my back fender... I just ran out and measured it. I've got 9 inches of rear fender left from the edge of my seat ;) My front fender... I just cut off a few inches to get rid of the flare that the Yamaha fenders have. I like it a lot better even with that small amount taken off.

[ConcusionLawlor]

i think some people need to lay off...seriously!!!! its like they get all offensive if someone does not know how to cut plastic good. Maybe people just like to know the easiest way or best way to do it. it does not mean they cannot do tricks. I think its wrong for people to get upset at other people who have grab holes and cut fenders that dont use them. its none of their buissnes maybe they just want to have a cool looking bike or work up to the tricks. so just LAY-OFF of the so called posers!!!!!! because its wrong!!!!
