Exorcised rear fender - Why?

[Harald]

I seem to remember some folks buying a rectangular black plastic office size garbage can and cutting it up to fix cut fenders. It looked pretty good. This might be an opportunity to learn how to search the forum for the TONS of great information that's hidden in past posts. Hint: I usually use Google and type in the search terms and follow that with site:fjrforum.com , which restricts search to this forum and not the entire internet.

I don't care what my rear fender looks like. I can't see it from where I sit! And, as much as I ride in wet weather, I want it there to minimize the crap getting on everything above it. It actually looks pretty good now, though. I put a Marine Corps sticker there.

That is why I want the quick install system. On during the wet season, off during the dry.

If you are looking at my rear fender, I'm in front

I would like to be able to have a quick on/off lengthiner(?) for when i pull the UNI-GO.

I am thinking about my next tire change now. I need to incorporate a quicker removal than what it would currently require. Anyway, looking forward to a great riding season. I don't have to look at it while riding anyway.

These guys make a commercial rear fender extender, but it's pricey!

And intended as an addition for an unmodified fender. It must rain a lot over there!

Ditto - 'cept mine has a "Teen Girls Squad" sticker.... "SO GOOD!"...

Wastebasket mudflap... You mean like this one?

Being a flexible plastic it just flexes out of the way at tire time.

First mod I did to mine, but I'm in California and don't ride in the rain on purpose. I did it to be different.

I'm slowly loosing the need to personalize, it should be completely cured after I'm ashes. And there is no way I'm going into some lame-assed off the shelf urn. Save those for the long fendered folks.
