Re: [RBW] Mudflap in or out?
I zip-tie my leather mud flap to a small piece of plastic. Old piece of credit card works great. I trim the plastic bit to just the right width so that it snaps in place between the rolled edges on the underside of the fender. This holds the flap in place and gives a clean look with no fender modification at all. Does that make any sense? It was easier to do than to explain! I'll try and snap a pic later.

Re: [RBW] Mudflap in or out?
I don't know which is better but, traditionally, they're inboard.

However, that flap was very thin rubber and quite unlike the thick leather mud flap the OP inquired about. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
