Rear Mudguard Install Fifties Classic Bobber XVS 650 #13

[@MrRUOCCOLOCO]

Awesome videos man... Greetings from NW-London... Quick 2 questions... 1) Do you have to declare all your changes to your insurance? And 2) do you then need a brand NEW MOT? Thank you...

[@MotoMirius]

Cheers for that. Yes you should notify your insurance company because if you don’t and you need to claim then they could refuse to pay out. Most insurers don’t worry about decorative changes like this. No need for MOT as I have not changed anything safety related. Skäl. David

[@tinks43]

Look forward to it David 😀

[@MotoMirius]

Ha! Cheers Dave. Just trying out something they’ve opened up to the smallest channels. Skäl. David

[@garryhills8648]

Well done David If you can do the seat you can do the rear fender!!!

[@MotoMirius]

Cheers Garry. I'm going to crack on with that! Skäl David

[@garryhills8648]

Is there much you can do to fit it that way Don't think I could do what you do. Your doing a great job David!!!!

[@tinks43]

A lot of consideration but I’m sure it will come together in the end 👍🏻

[@MotoMirius]

Thanks Dave. It’s so easy not to show the boring talks, thinking stuff but I’m hoping it helps the people who are looking to do this for themselves. Skäl. David

[@GrandExperience]

Great tips and awesome videos!! My bobber project is not finished yet, but I can show you pictures IF you want 😊👍

[@MotoMirius]

Thanks. Is a bobber project ever really finished? Skäl. David

[@GrandExperience]

[@sumatrajohnny]

[@MotoMirius]

Yeah not quite sure what happened there

[@randomrides]

I'll do my best to be here 😀

[@MotoMirius]

🤘🤘now if only I can make it too 😂😂

[@josuevillasante2546]

JAJAJAJAJAJA sorry man but the phrase "easy to change" after to see 11 videos with you building a seat is really funny.

[@MotoMirius]

Easy to change doesn’t mean easy to build 🤣🤣. At least for me. Skäl. David

[@jootai]

with a mudguard that short, wont your back get wet in the rain? how short can you go for a mudguard for it to still work properly and stop all rain and mud.

[@MotoMirius]

Yes. It's why you have to make a decision between style and practicality. There are two factors - the sides and the back of the mudguard, both allow splash because of aerodynamics of a bike in motion which sucks the air into the vacuum created by your body. To minimise splash keep the end of the mudguard longer than the end of the wheel.

[@jootai]

@@MotoMirius thanks man if you are out of video ideas! this might be one!

[@MotoMirius]

@@jootai it was always on the list of projects but I got sidetracked! Thanks

[@vickymcleod5244]

Any links where to buy the mudguard ? Ty

[@MotoMirius]

Link is in the description - if its out of stock then click through to the link on the page to Motone

[@vickymcleod5244]

@@MotoMirius thanks , saw the link its on amazon and its soldout . subscribed btw. Good day.

[@MotoMirius]

@@vickymcleod5244 That's why I said click on the link on the advert to Motone - they can advise if they still sell this or if they simply have a new advert.

[@BenButler1]

Seat looks MUCH better

[@MotoMirius]

Well of course, it's the currently popular 'look.' I need to redo it to change the angle, but people love the slammed look. I need to get back onto this build. Skäl David

[@btcsignal-4u]

Where you have found this fender? Could you post a link?

[@MotoMirius]

Hi, parts links are in the description. Skäl David

[@chrisdrummer200]

Is that one of them motone rear mud guards, if so which one is it ( i see they very in width)

[@MotoMirius]

Yes, it is. I've added a link into the description so that anyone else who needs to can look it up. Skäl David

[@DuckyHitsBills]

No rubbing?

[@MotoMirius]

Not if you mount it to the swinging arm, no. It's a shaft drive so no movement for chain tensioning

[@bikeelie2559]

Ur back will get wet

[@MotoMirius]

Hey Elie. Yes it will. Fashion over function 😀. The next build will have a more practical length but it’s why I stress the modular build. I can put a longer back mudguard on in ten minutes. Skäl. David

[@DiamondR0GUEnz]

Talk too much

[@MotoMirius]

It’s a bad habit. Skäl. David

[@DiamondR0GUEnz]

Bobbers suck

[@MotoMirius]

Glad I'm not you. Skäl David
