i haven't done fronts yet ...the back ones are made from a single tub that is cut in half down the sides and through the center of the bottom. Imagine the shape of a 2nd gen rear inner wheelhouse by the shock, the bottom of the tub is almost identical with a shock cutout. That area is zip-tied to the lower rack tube (2 holes per zip tie, 3 ties total). Another 3 ties hold it to the vertical tube behind the seat. The tub's side curve means that it doesn't sit flat against the tube. It holds it fairly well, but there is some slippage and the outer edge of the "fender" will start rubbing the tire after bouncing through the rough stuff a few times. The video i posted up in my yerf upgrades thread is the only shot i have of the fenders on atm. it really needs a mount made for it, but ' going to use the golf club racks instead. Not going to make the fronts until i do the new front end.
