When I sold my Vishunu's, I took the tires off. I sold the 225's I was running and kept the 245's.

General Exclaim UHP in front
General G-MAX in rear.

If they still made the UHP's I would have gotten those.

Looking good Will. Hopefully I'll be up and running soon and we'll be able to run into eachother at a few meets this year!

Sadly Tommy won't be able to join us until summer sometime, lol!

On average I'd expect to pay around $50/fender. One thing I will say is that the LS430 rear fenders have tabs, which can make things more difficult. It may be best to shave the rear tabs and then roll, so you won't get as much dimpling.

Thanks!
my rear fenders have already been shaved paper thin and the tabs have been shaved down too.

so you think its not as simple as just heating and pulling on the fenders with one of those fender rollers??
