Maier rear plastic ?

[smokinwrench]

I just got Maier rear plastic for my 250R. It came with brackets to mount the loop wire.

Is the loop wire needed with the Maier fender? Will it be strong enough without it? I don't want floppy fenders.

I don't really want to drill holes through brand new fenders.

its a toss up smokin, i got maier fenders on my r too and i ride without the wire support, they are a little floppy but unless you do alot of jumping i wouldnt worry about it.....my $0.02

Could either of you guys post a pic? Mine didn't come with anything, just fender. I've put it on but haven't rode yet. I would like to put the support on but the plastic isn't exactly the same as oem.

make sure you use big washers! someone on my 84' didn't use em and i had to make a whole new chunk of of sheet metel to cover the complete hole

i put the support on mine. i didn't think it was too floppy with out it but got to thinking if i or who ever i sell it too was to ride in heavy, sticky mud that those fenders would sag all the way down to the tire. i had seen that before at haspin acres where the clay sticks and builds up heavy.
