Another tale of fender failure

It sounds like you found some that are of good quality then. I am impressed.
I have seen alot of that lowrider stuff at local swap meets, I rarely am impressed with what I see.

DOH! Dunno why it never occurred to me, 2 pieces of good flat stock added to an already beefed up and long "L" bracket(s) that all intersect and bolt together. Would be bullet proof. Hmmm, gotta thunk awhile on this here one. I had been thinking just a long, beefed up L, nuts and bolts facing up so you could easily see if they failed or were loosening up. Or a "break-away" plastic front fender

I really like having fenders as I ride mostly beach cruisers. Although with out, gives em a rat look that I am starting to like. But then the whole rain or wet road thing.

get some Wald fenders. they're heavy duty, their chrome is excellent (they make black, too,) the mounting struts are strong, and they last forever. and cheap, too.

i've got them on my cruiser, and they're probably 40 years old. they hardly even vibrate when i'm riding.

Nice find Bairdco, Thanks. Gotsa love de chrome! Are those the same fenders you have on your avatar? Would really enjoy seeing more close ups or thread pics.

Niagara has some great stuff

no problem. here's a pic showing the fenders in all their glory. see that shiny chrome? that's at least 40 years old. the rear fender struts have holes to mount them to the axle, but i cut them off, and mounted them to the old chain tensioner holes on the frame. the fender's also been cut to clear the chain.

the rear's have 4 attachment points. 2 struts, one bolt near the kickstand, and one at the seat stays, where your caliper brake would go. i'm not using that one, because it doesn't line up.

the front fenders have the two struts, plus the "L" bracket on the fork. like i said, these things are sturdy, still available after 100 years, and super cheap.
