Has anyone come up w/ a good home made idea for fender flares?

 

I have used a pair of square floor mats for mud flaps on my ATV. I have them bolted to a small piece of 1x2 that I zip tie to the rear rack. The flaps hang down about 18-20 inches and keep a lot of mud off the stuff on my trailer when I am towing it through mud.

The mud flaps are too flimsy to use for fender flares I think. You might find a different style that would work. But, the last fender flare kit I purchased was $35 and was an easy install and money well spent. Just be careful letting it extend too far below the foot rests. It can get caught and when it pulls it can break the fenders.

large black garbage can with dimple finish works great for flairs and the curves assist with a nice fit around fenders.

 

I would like to see a photo of that. I need a set of them. I put 27x12x12 on my bike. needless to say I am muddy everytime I go out.
