350X refresh questions

[BOB MARLIN]

On the Maier, are you talking about the bend that simulates where the mud flap is on the OEMs ?.
The Maier 350x fenders are better than their 250r fenders because that mud flap bend actually stiffens them up quite a bit so they don't flop around like their 250r fenders. The problem I've had with the Maier 350x fenders is the area around where
the kick starter folds into is never quite right.
Also all the Maier 350x front fenders I have are crooked when viewed from the front, maybe they have fixed the mold by now, don't know.

My problem with Maire's fenders..........I can never remember how to spell it. Had to google it like many times before.... "Maier" it is i guess for spelling but still doesnt look right to me.

I’m running the Maier fenders and the problem I now have is they look more like a raspberry red in contrast with my frame. Oh well it about the only option I have.

Many more OEM 85 fenders out there. Buy 86 is hard to find. For me anyway.

So I was thinking to alter the shape of the rear mud flap and paint it with truck bed liner or something to give it a texture after the shape was improved. The factory shape is pretty simple and the Maier shape is actually more complex with the beaded edge.

I’ll have to look at the kickstarter area. I have old Maiers now- the “dull” finish. With and exhaust hole melted into them. So no loss if things go wrong trying stuff with it.
