FTGRACING

I'm posting this for my my wife here is a 2009 Dodge Journey SXT FWD in excellent condition. Beautiful Surf Blue Pearlcoat with charcoal interior. External chrome appearance package with 19" by 7" wheels. Tinted windows, power everything, CD player, V6 which averages about 22.7 MGP when split evenly between highway and city driving. One owner, meticulously maintained, new front brakes/rotors. I love this car, but needed something bigger. Garage kept, non smoking. 32,260 Miles (Pardon the bad photo - it started snowing just as I was trying to get picture) I will get a better pic this weekend. $14,900 OBO We are in Milan MI about 2 hours south of Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Give me a ring at 734-845-7620 anytime.

Thanks, I will keep everyone posted on progress.

Little update. Everything is welded and wire mesh on each side. Coated it with plastic bonding adhesive (auto body spec) and am sanding. Man this shit is taking me a lot longer than I thought. Anyway below is a pic still needs some filler but you get the idea.

I like the 3.5" angle grinder then sand the edges buy hand then hit it with a heat gun seems to do the trick.

If anyone really wants a new OEM look I am pretty sure you can get the fenders from past years and get the decals from overseas Yamaha (you can buy them from online dealers in Europe) if you want a new looking OEM Shee. Or you could go custom and do something really trick.

Nice job. Looks better than most the stuff out there!

You know I wonder how the OEM tank and rad cover would fit on the Maires

Sweet dude. I think I saw your pic and the mag is at my work and I will be off till after Jan 1st so If no one post a pic I will scan and send in then. What is funny I I have ben a Dirtwheels and ATV Action subscriber and there predicessors since 1982 and I used to look forward to the new mags but now they are the same old stuff since we have all these production 450's. Not to knock the new 450s, I had YFZ450 for a few years but I would be nice if the mags could mix it up like the car mags do. Example is you could see a tricked out 65 Mustang and a 2010 in a Mustang mag with all the hop ups and special builds. Now if Dirtwheels and others would start covering stuff from the 80's based models like Banshee's, 250R's, Quadracer's and all the cool trikes. Even OEM restorations of quads and trikes would be cool, just something different.

They hold up well. We have some on my wifes Kawasaki Lakota and they fit okay, but my buddy put a full set on his Banshee and the tank/rad cover didn't fit the front fenders like OEM, were okay from a few feet back but up close looked like crud. I would have send them back but he beats his quads up good so it didn't matter to him. Maybe others that have them on there shee can chim in.

Jereme6655 sorry I missed your post last time I posted. I'm glad you liked it, I'm actually a designer by trade and always try to think of better ways to do stuff. I actually got the other side welded now and I'm inlaying metal screen metal mesh to make it hold up. Not sure if I'm going to do a mold of not yet but still may try. The problem is with me making fenders there is so much cost involved in materials to do glass or carbon fiber. So the next best thing is to have someone else make fenders from plastic. I know Maier would maybe make them if we ordered enough sets. A guy on Kawieriders.com did that and got a bunch of side panels and other stuff made for forum members but he footed the money upfront. Also don't care for Maier so much, they smooth to may body lines out and don't fit like OEM.

Yeah, it is coming. I got the rivets out of the other side and now I and working on melting in some metal mesh reinforcement. After that there is a Plastic Adhesive I have done on a hood before and worked so I will sand fill and sand again. Then off to prime and paint and will post pics but this is taking longer than I hoped. I have also thought about welding the 3 peices of the front fenders together like an aftermarket also, but not sure if I will spend that much time.

Hey this is taking up room in my basement want gone asap. See attached pic below. I am interested $375 or trade for Banshee cylinders, rods, pistons etc. This item would make a great x-mass gift if you have a few parts I need laying around. You can call me with any questions (734) 845-7620.

It won't fit without work, sorry.

AKheathen, I actually had a strip the length of the fender from the removed items as a backer and was riveted temporary to hold them together (I will post pics of the process later). Then from the top I done the V method then melted and filled, I never have used the surface weld, they will break if you breath on them just like metal. Them once the top is done I drilled out the rivets (filled them) and welded from the back and seems strong. I have plastic welded a few things but this is the biggest I have done. Also once I get the other side done I will reinforce with mesh after a heat up, then use a PE compatible plastic filler to finish it off an do a final sand.

Okay, here is a little update. I welded one side, kinda rough but some sanding will do the trick.
