Default Opinions Wanted!

Trying to decide on which rear mudflap looks nicer:

Kury's http://www.leatherup.com/p/Fender-Tr...FYFhMgod8U4AIA

or Harley's http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/trike-mud-flaps

Really leaning toward HD's, but would love to hear your opinions

I like the HD's myself. IMHO, they look better…those are the ones I would put on if it were my bike. Are they really cheaper?

Got a question. What is the purpose of a mud flap if you have a fender on the trike? All it does is prevent mud from escaping the fender. I could see putting one on the front fender to keep debris away from the oil cooler (2013 and earlier). Just wondering. I've got/had two trikes and a bike w/sidecar in the last few years and I haven't put a mud flap on any of them.

It's more decorative then anything, but it will help with anyone following you. You will kick up road debris and this helps. Mainly tho it helps dress up the back IMHO.

I've got the HD Tri-Glide on mine. Been looking for a single one to put on the front. Gave up on finding one so I bought a single plain one for the front. What I didn't like with the Tri-Glide set was the chinsey bolts that came with it. Used 1/4' chrome socket screws and show plugs. Got a picture I will try to send you.

Timer Wolf makes some nice front mud flaps http://www.timberwolfleather.com/category_21/HARLEY-MUD-FLAPS.htm. Captain Itch also makes some front and rear flaps for bikes and the Triglide http://shop.captain-itch.com/Mud-Flaps_c5.htm he also makes other leather goods which are top notch. I have a couple gun belts from him which see daily use.

Had I seen the Kury's 1st, those are what I'd have gotten. I absolutely LOVE those things. Saw a TG at Tucson last weekend that had 'em and they are spectacular.
