Ok time to start back on this project.
Last couple of days progress....I ride like a madman sometimes and I can't count on two hands how many times I've had my rear fenders come unlatched and fly off on various ATCs. I modified my 200X latch to use cotter pins instead of the spring latch and I liked it enough to do the same on the R.....yeah you can buy these already made for maybe $40 but how about this one for just $10 and some spare time?....it doesn't need to be pretty. Function over form.
I ground off the old pins and the latch post. The plate had two cracks around the old latch so I cut out the bad spot and welded in a new piece of plate for better strength.
Next I turned some longer and bigger OD pins for a tighter fit in the rubber grommets on the frame. I hate floppy fenders. I made them with a flange to weld to the plate. Welded them in place and shot with some Honda Passion Red. I'll drill the cotter pin holes later when my mill is freed up so I can get them located exact.
