A cure for saggy rear fenders

[turbowrenchhead]

My 25 year old fenders are sagging. The rear shock isn't set up right either and I'm not getting the stance I want. I tried shortening the rear shock link. That gave me a little better stance. I still wasn't happy with the way it looks. So I came up with this.....

I made two fender stays. One for each side. I took 1/8" thick by 1" wide steel flat stock and bent it up to go from the frame to the corner of the fender.

I like the look that it has. To each his own.

Could just go to a hardware store and buy some aluminum flat bar for $5, cut and bend how you want it. Drill two holes and your good.

 

I personally think you bent yours too far up... But whatever, it's your bike!

I have aluminum stock here at work. I'm going to make some.

I used two L brackets and bolted the short sections together, they just happened to be the perfect size. I'll post a pic when I get in from work.

I just took a heat gun, heated up the plastic, then bent it upward and let cool.
