    Let me see those home made atc rear fenders

    I am thinking of making rear aluminum fenders for my 250es to use until I can afford to buy a new set. I would love to see other rear fender fabrications, so I can steal ideas. Admittedly, this is perhaps not my most intelligent idea.

    Crusty old thread BUMP. Nobody has any home grown fenders? Just curious to see some shade tree engineering solutions as to inspire me. I won't judge or insult your design, but I may just steal your idea...

    I've never made any, but I do know aluminum is a very dangerous fender. Don't flip it ontop of yourself, slice right through ya! LOL

    Head over to your local ACE hardware and pick up a couple of their red garbage cans... with some careful trimming, aluminum backing and rivets, you'll have her looking good at 100 yds in no time! In all seriousness though, somebody here has to have a beat up set that will get you by for now.

    I know there's some good ones out there...

    Midwest/east coast craigslists are chalked full of on-the-farm fixes.

    I think the best I've seen was a complete set of rear fenders made out of aluminum diamond plate (well I really HOPE it was aluminum). rounded edges? nope. Nice clean sharp welds. One tip over and you'll be squished and impaled

    I have a really sweet set right now made out of truck mud flaps. They came on the Nicholson 250 when I bought it

    I am interested in looking at anything. I must say, philgipson, those fenders look awesome! And Jason125m, you raise a good point, I never thought about the potential for injury that a metal fender may provide. Yes, this is an old thread, and I am sorry if my bump came off as impatient. Given recent tragic events that have occurred within the 3WW community, I would also like to sincerely apologize for using the word "dead". In hindsight, it was a very insensitive adjective to use, and I did not intend to offend anyone. And thanks again for the ideas, guys. Now I am off to steal a kiddy pool...

    I had a 250ES that had basically no rear fenders left that I was selling...all that was left of the fenders was the flat part directly underneath the rack...he said no problem...that he would just get a couple crazy carpets and add them to what was left of the original fenders. I don't know how this would work, but I would think if you riveted two thicknesses together, it would be stiff enough to hold it's shape and might be a cheap way to keep mud and water off of you.

    I saw a set on here on a bike, it was a 5 gallon bucket cut in half for the front and truck mud flaps for the rears. ABOMINATION!

    I got some inner fenders, those plastic things that go in the wheel wells
    and was thinking about using those.
    50 cents each was the right price
