Looking forward to seeing some Honjos on there.<BR/><BR/>I have VO fenders on my long haul trucker, and I like 'em. But I had a hell of a time getting them installed (I think they install in the same way as the Honjos). That said, next time it'll be easier.Apertomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148516503920019073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-69370647437940440192008-11-14T22:08:00.000-08:002008-11-14T22:08:00.000-08:00I would have guessed to see those fenders extendin...I would have guessed to see those fenders extending just an inch above the ground from the front wheel there John!

Haven't had a real need to build a set yet, but I've got some signs saved for when the time comes.<BR/><BR/>Currently I've got a set of Planet Bike Clip On ATB fenders for the El Mariachi, on and off in under 10 seconds and contrary to what PB will tell you they will fit over 29 x 2.55s(with little room to spare). They're very nice for the dual purpose bike especially since I've never been a fan of fenders off road, but they do leave something to be desired in the splash on shoes department.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454646736540616222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-16282560756107425182008-11-14T17:04:00.000-08:002008-11-14T17:04:00.000-08:00thanks for that clarification wade.thanks for that clarification wade.John Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-67703145834220932892008-11-14T16:53:00.000-08:002008-11-14T16:53:00.000-08:00I have to clarify.

What doesn't look great is all of the extra front fenders I have because the rear one is always the one that breaks and they only sell them in pairs.David Blainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391632871217373852noreply@blogger.com
