I cut them on the quad for the stability and use a really thin grinder blade works pretty sweet.

I use a cutting wheel on my Dremel tool, finer than a cutting wheel on a 4inch grinder and easier to turn, after I've cut I just use a sanding drum to take the rough edges off.

Jigsaw works well & a file cleans up the edge

| CUT WITH THIN 100mm CUTTING BLADE,SAND WITH WET AND DRY, HEAT EDGES WITH HEAT GUN TO FINISH OFF. CUT WHILE ON QUAD, THIS WAY IS ALOT EASIER THAN ON THE FLOOR OR BENCH. |

not sure about faster , hasn't made me any slower 
pro's / improved lateral vision, less wind resistance when front end high
con's/ mud spray ,I find the difference with or without front fenders is hard to measure if mixed with 2 or 3 inches of roost  |

these are my guards that were bought as race ones. they are really good to coz the fronts are all in one piece, and the air scoops are separate as stock are in more parts i think (for the yamaha at least)
and these ones were cut for doing gravel sprints like the race to the sky to save time. but they were cut quite rough, but sorry i dont know how they were done
and sorry bout the size of the photo
