You mean the ones that we point and laugh at?
You'd have to modify a fender to fit the frame somehow. There are no direct bolt-on options for these bikes.

If you decide to go for one of these, try to find one of the OEM hinged units. Otherwise you may find yourself having to pull the rear fender to get the rear wheel off...Originally posted by 1100enthusiest View Post

Hi Enthusiest and welcome,Originally posted by 1100enthusiest View Post
your profile says you have a Midnight Special?
Now while I pick on those who hardtail their bikes, if you modify a MNS everybody will pick on you.
Except me.
If you want a big wraparound rear fender, go for it.
And while Crazy Steve is correct in that you can't get the rear wheel out with a big fender there, he's too young to remember the Royal Enfield.
After simply slacking off four nuts and unplugging the lights wiring the Enfield rear fender lifts completely away to give complete rear wheel access.
You will need to make special bracketry to attach a different rear fender anyway so you may as well do it right.Fred Hill, S'toon
