    250sx Mudflaps Custom

    i bought bailer belt from tractor supply company. Worked perfect. 8 bucks a foot but worth it. I used an orginal mudflap for the template and cut them out. Used a drum sander to smooth them out and work the corners. Then used a lighter to burn the cords in the center of the belt. Total cost was around 25 bucks. And yes there gonna be much more durable then the orginals.

    I used 1/4" x 1" bolts with a washer and lock nut on the underside. I also used 2 washers under the flap to make them sit more level as the fenders are recessed.

    thanks for the pics man, The bike looks great. I was already planning on getting those exact bars, I have the fourtax bend on my 350x and have always really liked them.

    LOL when i saw the initial pics in your first post i saw the brake resevoir, and thought... "Disc brakes on a 250sx????".

    I do like the bars but am open to options problem with them on this bike is you can't see the neutral light reverse light not a big deal but does get annoying at times. Yeah i get alot of looks on this machine from coming staright at you looks like a 350x i can see the confusion plus the cobra exhaust does have a bite to it so sounds meaner then it really is.

    They are 2 1/2" spacers on it. Very stable now. They were saying these weren't for mx or anything but they have held up fine now for over 2 years. But then again this is my trail machine not my pin my head back machine. That wasn;t the intention of this machine. But they are hard to beat for trails.

    nice flaps. only mud flap i fabricated was for the front fender on my 82 110 i used to have. i used one of those green recycle bins (our neighborhood had just switched to the big trash can/recycle). came out great
