anyone done it? how hard is it? any drawbacks from this. i am getting tired of the sound of the tire rubbing on it when i turn, and thought if i removed it it would eliminate it. thanks

N20, don't take them out. Take both front wheels off and look where you are having the rubbing proglem. Then cut out a square out of that exact area.

Make sure you cut the hole about 2 inches away from wherever you are have evidence of rubbing.

They're there for a reason. You might run into some trouble later with little rocks getting flung everywhere, engine bay included.

I removed myne because I rolled my front fenders and wasn't ever able to re-use them. I have't had any problems with the removal of myne and its been almost 7 months.

Rocks can easily be flung and create upward dings in your fenders. Air filter will be NASTY much quicker. Think of that when it rains.... Noise level will go UP a little. Rocks may be flung into brake lines, etc.....

As much as it rains here and this is going to be your daily driver I wouldn't do it Rob. Go with less tire width up front if the rubbing bugs you [patriot]

No inner fenders wouldn't help your problem
