Title: I race cut my plastics
Post by: Grande huevos on April 24, 2015, 12:30:46 PM

A little masking tape, a dremel with a cutoff wheel, and my buddy and I trying lots of different lines before I decided on one and started cutting. I'm pretty happy with the outcome! What do you guys think?

i much more prefer cut plastics, and do cut them for friends and other bikes all the time, but on these old bikes where plastics are worth so much, i couldnt bring myself to do it to perfectly good fulls.

I've always had race cut on my Rs and really like the look. This was the first new set ive bought and I like the detail in the fulls rather then the 3 piece. Also I figure I could cut a more aggressive line then factory and have more of the "custom" look. I told my self I would run them as a full set for a year and see if they grew on me but they didn't! They also didn't keep me any cleaner or dryer then cut ones so they had to go
