Well i was looking for rear fenders for my 250sx for about a month now and couldnt find a used set. so i got to thinking and i finally cam up with something that would work for the time being....

heres what i did.....
went to home depot and bought a brute trash can i think a 32 gallon-30$
went to walmart got a bag of screws for like-2or 3 dollars
a can of red spraypaint from walmart for- 3-5 dollars

took it home and got this......

I like 'em, sure beats getting covered with mud. If you rounded the corners a little bit they'd look pretty darn good from a distance.

figure of speech....not a race..you are classified as a redneck for something you do, not your race......where im from....i see stuff like that alot....and im sure alot of city folks would consider me a redneck just for living like 15min from any store, or even just for owning a trike!
You act like a redneck is a bad thing...id rather be called that than 90% of other things....

on the other hand...i personally would just wait till i find a set of plastics...i have a 200x ive been looking for a used set for like 4mths now.... it has none on it.....but i still ride it....you ride to get dirty!! it makes the dirt and mud fly farther.

Wow, I never would've guessed that would have cost you $40. I would think more like $20 by the looks of it.

if it keeps the mud off you thats great.

save up and buy maiers

I was going to make a comment, but considering some of the ones I've seen around here made with pieces of 5 gallon buckets and cut up plastic 55 gallon drums that were wired onto the frame and other such trash...it actually looks pretty good in comparison

**Tecate250** · 05-23-2009, 01:04 PM

Improvise. I think they look great. Me I like getting dirty. I still like playing in my sand box but now with bigger toys. Have you tried melting the plastic with a heat gun to make effects And curves?

**theiizz08** · 05-23-2009, 01:15 PM

Hey man despite what the others may say it looks dam good way to use your head. And if you think about it what you used is way more flexable and will withstand more abuse than factory plastics, so now you can ride harder with out worries of them crackin. Props to you

I must read to fast.. At first I thought I read Brute Trash BAGs.. I was like what the hell... Then I re-read the original post and realized it said trash can.. Not a bad idea and really doesn't look too awful.. Maybe try some rubbermaid ones.. You can get those in all kinds of shapes.. Might have to make a set of these just for when my cousin comes to ride. Seem like every time he comes over he falls off the bike and somehow it gets stuck up in a tree a few feet off the ground. Have to find the pictures of that to post.
