- January 13, 2013, 10:08:30 AMYeah, I guess you could make several different sets of mudflaps and easily swap them out as the mood strikes you......never thought of that! OK, now the grey matter is in gear!

From before my WWW's....

- January 13, 2013, 09:38:40 AMDid 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

- January 12, 2013, 22:30:51 PME6000 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.

- January 12, 2013, 20:30:57 PMI 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/

- January 12, 2013, 15:46:44 PMNice thing about plastic fenders... The drill bit doesn't skate! (as long as you go slow... lol)

- January 12, 2013, 12:26:18 PMlol wait till you do drill into it...big peice of plastic, sound and feels really different then metal, close would be drilling your cowling on a snow machine.

- January 12, 2013, 12:10:53 PMHi 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
