I could not find aftermarket fender extensions for my 450 Honda Foreman. Because I have aftermarket tires and rims, the tires stuck outside the fenders 2-3 inches.
In spite of being a 'gutless' Honda, this thing was a mud flinging bastard!

So I decided to make my own.

I took the stock fenders off, traced them onto cardboard to make templates, to trace the fender pattern onto the plastic. The plastic is from empty oil drums that I snagged at work. It took 2 drums to build these.

When I laid out the templates on the plastic, I decided to take advantage of the rib that's built into the barrel, to give the fenders a bit of extra stiffness.
The ribs ended up kind of flowing together, front to back.

They are far from perfect, I was in a helluva a hurry actually, when I built them. But now that I have done this once, I can see where improvements can be made, and I have these rough fenders that I can work off, if I decide to make more.

Because the plastic is so thick, I decided to secure them with carriage bolts. I know that's not really the best. I will hafta be careful not to hammer them into too much stuff, or I'll bust up the yellow plastic body of the quad.

I can see where small mudflaps, inserted in between the rear edge of the front fenders and then in front of the rear fenders, would knock down a lot more mud.

I'm really looking forward to testing these out over the next week, when I am bear hunting.










Now with mudflaps added.
