Re: mud flaps Reply #2 - 06/28/11 at 06:54:51 If I wanted a mud flap Id go to the gasket shop & buy a hunk of 3/16ths rubber, spend some time lookin around a hardware store or junk yard for a piece of metal to cut the edge trim out of & mount that thing up.. Rivets are fun to work with,, Actually, Id find the metal bits first,,

Cheap mud flaps. They’ve work on my vehicles for years. Change as needed.

Mebbie so,...

Truth is,.. the fender was about 4" longer but developed a crack, so I had to shorten it... a bit more that I liked...
So,... I added the flap...
That's my story... Huh

Kinda pointless on a stubby fender. I'll likely add them to my Savage, but, I do run a full rear fender.

Any HD catalog will have them, I like the ones from J&P Cycles Vintage catalog or V-twin Mfg's vintage section. You'd order a skinny front (Wide glide type) and a medium size rear if you run both stock fenders.

Buy the rubber ones, leather ones are for show bikes.
