Mud flap install

Captain,
This is from your website
"Set of quality Latigo Leather rear fender mud flaps. This set of mud flaps is a universal design for rear fenders of Harley-Davidson Trikes. It does not come with any mounting hardware, but they have slots cut out like the original Harley-Davidson one. Except, our mud flats are about one inch longer, and are stitched around the edges. They are available in plain, embossed, or with studs and Bling. If you can't find what you want in our drop-down window, just call us at 931-653-4117, and we'll try to work with you.
Does it come with the Velcro and snaps??
Tom

For what it's worth, I used the two-sided 3M automotive tape (from NAPA, not the Wally Word version) to hold some anchor mounts for some fender bags for an ATV under the front of my fenders. I shaped some 3x5 pieces of oak wood to fit the profile of the inside of the fender, soaked them in Thompson's water seal, cleaned, dried and backed them completely with the tape.
Then I positioned them after cleaning the ABS with soapy water and then alcohol. Then put some Gorilla duct tape on to seal the edges.
They've been on there for three years, with about 9000 of 18000 miles being connected to the bags, through countless rain storms and a sand storm, 40 to 113 degrees, and have yet to show any signs of loosening or coming off.
It's not the velcro that is important, it's the adhesive and proper surface prep.
Here's a pic of them I took just the other day. If these held on this long, mud flaps shouldn't be an issue, although I'd still seal the edges with some duct tape to keep water away from the two sided tape.
