Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fred W" data-source="post: 558121" data-attributes="member: 3828">Thanks for the award nomination guys!   <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I was very surprised by how well it protected the rear area of the tail-light, trunk rack, etc.  Nary a spot of spray back there.  A little fine spray hit the pipes and bottom of the saddlebags, but nothing much on the tail light.I don't know why I couldn't find your post Geezer.  I searched for it, honest I did!!    <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />    But that's exactly what I used to make mine.  A rectangular black plastic office type trash can.  It was ~ $5 at the Home Depot and cut into shape very easily.  Plus I still have the other side of the barrel to make a second one.The flexible plastic gets stiff emough to not flap around once it's curved into the shape of the rear fender.  I used the two screws that were already there (from the missing rear reflector) and added two more up under the license plate area.  I had to cut two slits to accommodate the stiffening fins under the fender, so I think I'll add a 3rd screw under the plate in the center, to hold the section down between those fins.I'll take another picture of the unmounted mudflap as a pattern when I do that.  I wanted to make sure the damn thing worked well before I posted anything here.</blockquote>
