Default Exocet Rear Fenders

Finally got around to mounting the rear fenders. Big PITA, though. And then it didn't go very well at the track. Oh, well, I still have two fenders left. Back to the drawing board.

Rear Fenders ? Racing the Exocet

Managed to get some track video, too.

I mounted the rears to the frame. They don't see any abuse from suspension motion there. You might consider it - since you can shorten the mounts substantially, they end up much stiffer and stronger.

They are mounted high enough to allow the tire full range of motion with no contact, and track tested.








Notice the height

Yeah, I saw that on FB. And I thought it was a pretty cool idea. We're going to the track again soon, and we'll see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, I may ask you for more detailed pictures.
