Abstract:
A front mudflap that is mounted with or without the front fender of a motorcycle to block water, dirt, and debris includes a bracket, an elastic shield, a support plate, and at least one fastener. The elastic shield is positioned and mounted in between a shield attachment leg of the bracket and the support plate by the at least one fastener. A frame attachment leg of the bracket is mounted to a frame of the motorcycle by the fastening mechanism thus securing the front mudflap to the motorcycle in a horizontal manner. Since the front mudflap is not connected to the front fender, the front mudflap can function with or without the front fender by blocking water, dirt, and debris away from the motorcycle and the rider.
