Got tired of slinging mud all over the Rhino and me so I broke down and put on some flares.

Clayboy , are those the Maier Fender Flares?

Personaly , I think a Rhino looks better without them.
but i know i am going to haft to get some. to keep mud off
me. we did not go though much mud as winrock. but you can see
my aviator. and see, i was getting covered pretty good... Embarassed

But cant you do better than $199.00 , As Ronnie would
say :D Ouch thats alot for , 4 peaces of plastic... 😢

Chris.... cheers

Yea, I know what ya mean. I didn't want to put them on, just got tired of getting mud all over me and passengers. I dont mind getting muddy, just not in the first mile.

They are Maier's and they are very proud of those 4 pieces of plastic! Rolling Eyes

They are not cheap. Mine, I got lucky and found a set on ebay for a hundred bucks. I think it was 115 with shipping and all. Maybe not quite as much coverage or aesthetically pleasing as the Maier, but I am pretty happy.

Those look nice Clay!

Yea, I think the Maiers are about 1/2" wider than Yamaha's so you do get a little more coverage. I'm still looking for a less expensive brand to carry.

Clayboy , just stick with the Maiers brand. it good quality, i looked at most out there.
and thay dont look so good. the factory yamahas look ok. but as LT says.
thay dont cover as much. and the ones that come on a SE dont look good.
thay have a crease in the rears... :evil:

the factory yamahas are over $200 from the dealer.
so 199 for the Maiers may not be so bad.

a little rattle can on them silver screws will help a bit not smooth as a plug but get rid of the "jumping out" affect the silver has

I like the look of the flares. The Maiers are the best cover I've seen (IMO). However, you really need to get the mud flaps as well.

Yamaha are really for looks only. I am not sure if they even get you a 1/2" coverage.

hunterworks old flares are the best........the had the mudflaps on the front and rear.....they are awesome...i can pretty much ride anywhere all day and stay clean....can't beat that....i think Todd quit carrying them cause he had to buy to many at a time or something.....if anyone wants a pic of them i can post one......
also a cheap way for some flares would be how the Yank made his.....i think he had 70 or 90 bucks in them.

I have not gotten to trail test these yet. But I was pretty pleased at how they turned out after installing them. I still think I may get a little dirty, but not like before. If anyone knows a good place to get those splash guards for the front, I would still like to buy a set.

The only place I have seen the Maier splash guards is Hunterworks.
