Default Softail Deluxe Mud Flap

Hey Guys,

I was thinking of continuing the theme of the Old School look and was going to put a mud flap on my Deluxe. Then I found out that you have to drill holes in your fender to install it.....NO WAY! am I drilling holes in my fender. I cranked one out for you guys to take a look at. This one fastens using the existing three posts on the chrome strip with push on clips. What do you think. How many Deluxe owners would use on of these?

Looks pretty cool. Depending on price, and if it would look good with my cabbage cutter, I might get one.

I'll shoot some more pictures. Had a couple of guys that wanted it to be flatter along the bottom. What do you guys think?

You need reflectors, and other chrome embellishments on your mudflap if you really want "old school". Are you up to the challenge? That flap is for the most part is contemporary. Just my 2cents worth. But if you are happy, then I am happy! :-)
