Looks great.... No holes...... It also gives you the option of changing the look of the bike with no effort.

now gule and velcro made a good idea and no drilling

You just have to clean the inside of the fenders REALLY good first, or it won't stick.  Makes for a cleaner looking install if you ask me.

From before my WWW's....

Did some research on this and 3m 's  dual lock ( a type of industrial outdoor Velcro like product) has 4x the sticking power of regular industrial Velcro. They explain their products as mating mushroom heads that click when installed.

It seems like a good alternative..... Frank's leathers provides Velcro for all of their mudflaps.

Interesting

E6000 is made by Eclectic Products, in Pinevile, La.

I used to work for them, I was head of small package shipping, then transferred to head of solvent free production.

(they also make shoe-goo, seal all, and nail hole filler among MANY other things)

Oh FYI, Seal all, will patch holes in metal gas tanks and withstand the gasoline after it sets.

I attached my flaps with industrial strength velcro and some E6000 glue (like Barge's glue).  They've been on there for 6 years, riding through all kinds of weather.  (No holes and I can easily re-position them or take them off to redye them if needed)

BTW, another good place for leather supplies is e leather supply: http://eleathersupply.com/

Nice thing about plastic fenders... The drill bit doesn't skate! (as long as you go slow... lol)

Hi Bake

Picked up some concho screws for the mudflaps from Tandy.... Thanks for the suggestion.... When completed I will send some pics around.  Still a little nervous about drilling into my fenders.... They look like new.... Is it measure 20 times and drill once?  Lol

NTL, If you're close to a store that's better than online, You can actually look at the Items as well as have a real person to help you find what you want and show you different Ideas. Good Luck!

Thanks for the suggestion Bake.   There is a store located close to me and I will check this option out.  The concho seems more attractive than the homedepot bolts I was considering.....

Cheers

NTL, Check out "Tandy Leather" they have some great Concho backs that are threaded and come with a screw, They'll attach to the inside of the fender giving the leather more surface support, Then you only need a small stainless washer along with the screw for the outside of the fender. Here's a link to a concho with screw post. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/department/hardware/7400-241.aspx

They also have some really nice conchos here's a few pics of the ones I put on my fenders, "Stone Mountain Half Dollars" (cause I know the guys love to look at the pics... Chilli, RatMan, Troll, Marshall, DC, Drift1, Reo, Bravo, Chief... ) lol
