I installed the Bus Depot stone guards (mud-flaps) on my Westy. They look
good, are sturdy and stable and are close to the back of the wheel so I
think they will do their job.
Some installation tips if you're interested: the clips that come with the
kit, that are supposed to hold the curved edge of the flap against the
curved edge of the wheel well, don't! I drilled thru the flap and the wheel
well and installed a small sheet metal screw with washer. I sprayed all the
metal stuff (including drilled holes) I used with rust proof primer, front
and back.
There isn't enough of a lip on the back of the fender, inside the well, for
the clip to grasp.
