Default Mud flap install

How many have installed mud flaps with Velcro or some other way besides bolt on and is it holding up or has it failed. Thanks Dan

Check out this discussion. I listed a web address for a guy who makes flaps that attach with industrial grade Velcro.

I have a set in the garage, I'm going to use 3m dual lock to mount. I believe that will work fine

I have a front mud flap held on by velcro; it is on the third bike/trike now and has not failed. I have the bolt on Kuryakyn flaps in the rear
