My trip from home to work takes me through a rural bit in the Netherlands with quite a few farms. And as these farms will often grow things like patatoes or sugarbeet (which takes huge machines for harvesting) , the roads will get covered in a thin layer of clay. Riding these roads means that the underside of my bike will get covered in mud & clay. Yesterday I fitted a third mudguard, hoping this will prevent a lot of the dirt getting on the centre stand & collectorbox.

Hey franklin, you wouldn't happen to be able to make me one of those rear fenders would you? The bit of plastic I have on there now does the job....but it doesn't look quite as fancy  Of course some beer tokens will be included with my gratitude....  |

what? the scoop or the entire thing? I thought the scoop would be enough for a while....... ;D For those of you 'nuts' who want to extend the rear mudguard the same way as I have done. Here is the "how to do": 1. Find an ol bit of aluminium sheet (or aluminum as the yanks say) and copy this drawing onto it:  2. This is (more or less) what it should look like:  3. Then simply, cut along the lines & fold along the appropriate lines. And this is what it looks like:   Attach to the inside of the original NTV rear mudguard, using the bolts which also hold your numberplate. And here's one I make earlier: ;D www.stoeretassen.nl/My_NTV650/Spatborden/Mudguards.htmFranklin PS. Buzzin, this one will be in the post for you (as soon as you PM me your address) |
