Re:mudguards

I do - like everything on the KMX, they took a bit of dialling in.... They're
not at all wide
enough for the stock tyres, and the rear is not long enough (see below). Tad
expensive as
well, I feel. Still, massively better than nothing. They are snug and look good
(bit like a
Lotus Super 7).

Then I discovered how well the seat soaks through from the back (the rear
mudguard ends
above the flag holder), and it was time to have a think.

What I also did was take the original stubby rear mudguard, flip it over, and
fit it to the
bottom of the flag holder (drill small hole, add longish skinny bolt, nuts and
washers).
This effectively extends the rear mudguard down to the frame.
