It was love at first sight and I just have to have a nerd flap of my own. It arrived from Rome today where I acquired from Vespa dealer. I'm busy polishing it with a fine chamois so install pics will have to wait.

I think it's a codpiece.

No no, it attaches to your helmet and acts as a sun visor, silly.

nickjtc · « **Reply #6 on:** March 21, 2007, 02:23:36 PM »

Actually I thought it was one of those streamlined bicycle helmet shells.

Were they out of stock for the Yosemite Sam 'Back Off' mudflaps?

Hey guys, you don't go to Hooters for the chicken wings... I don't care what to tell your wife. I can smell the lusting for my dweeb flap all the way to Oregon and would appreciate it if you would tone it down a little... we have a mixed group here. $:-\$

It's kinda like a Nash Rambler... the damn thing is so ugly you have to love it.

The dweeb flap actually has a Honda part# but I've only seen this mounted on bikes in Italy.

heffay · « **Reply #17 on:** March 21, 2007, 07:14:44 PM »

well, obviously some italians have bad taste... is that what you meant by cafe racers cover your eyes

not my cup of tea but, i can see how it might attract the dweebs

Ahh yes.. the Euro-model mudflap.

I always wondered why there was a hole in the rear fender of my CB750... That's what it's for.

And, I finally found out that there was a plug in that hole at one time when the bike was new. Finally replaced it for that stock look...

Exactly right, Dan. The rubber nub in the hole below plate lines up perfectly with center hole on dweeb flap. Previously I surmised the nub was a bumper for bottom of larger Euro plate.

For the 500: Mudguard, rear fender #80121-300-731 for K0 and #80121-323-630 for K2

...and just when we were all thinking the rear fender was too small. Do they make a bigger tail light too? Oh... nirvana!

Damn fancy italians. Here's what we proudly display in the good ol' U S of A:

The thing I really like about the Euro bike are the short stems on rear winkers. I've already tossed my bumper and cut, drilled and ground my stems to get the same effect.

My *front* fender looks like it had a flap that was cut off.

Autozone sells those same mudflaps, just has a different logo on it:
