I installed a new full set of SA mudflaps on my '87 a couple of years ago.  I love them and they look and fit good, but they are just plastic and the supplied installation hardware is not great.  I use self-tapping screws thru the inside fender lip to secure mine better.  I wouldn't want to lose one, as they're kind of pricey.

  A question on mud flaps. I have an '86 Westy. The original mud flaps are
  long gone.

  I would like flaps that fit 'conventionally' at the rear of the wheel
  openings. I see some vendors have these. They are listed as South
  African style.

  Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations about these or other
  units?

  Best Regards
