Sanity check: rear mudguard install
« on: February 13, 2016, 03:56:15 PM »
I'm trying to install the rear mud guard that goes under the fender. It does not want to go in. Should this piece of plastic be flexible? Mine is quite rigid. I can't even get it into the holders on one side. What am I missing?

In cold weather they are real brittle and can crack if bent. I warm them up in hot water first.
See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.
