Hello,

I’ve had my Keeway Superlight for just over a year now.

I would like to bobber it.

I have the seat sorted, however, I can’t find a custom rear mudguard anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find a custom rear mud guard?

Oh fuck off. Go and ruin your perfectly serviceable bike somewhere else where there is no danger of us having to use mind bleach after looking at whatever abortion results.

You're going to throw a load of money into customising a cheap Chinese 125 into a bobber? April 1st was 22 days ago mate.

I had a Superlight and there's definitely plenty of room for improvement. Butchery isn't the first thing that springs to mind.

If you really must I suggest either getting a second hand rear mudguard and a hacksaw (they're only plastic over a removeable metal skeleton) or adapt the mudguard from a K-Light...

...or just buy a K-Light Rolling Eyes

Steady Nobby the nice man/boy did put 'Thank You' in his sig. He doesn't yet understand that Bobbers are for twats.

Yes he is usually this aggressive and yes he probably should be tested for autism, but he is right Laughing

When I saw the thread title I thought oh that poor guy is not going to get it easy on here Laughing

Much less expensive in time and cost to buy one already done, if there even is such a thing. Post photos?

Here's the Superlight:

And in comparison a K-Light:

Personally I don't care for the latter's modern aesthetic but the mudguards could probably be adapted for the Superlight to lean more towards the Bobber style.

I'm a fan of custom bikes and have heavily modified my own bikes, so I wont slate you for having the idea.

The problem is, a big part of building the bikes for me is learning how to create stuff and learning new skills. If you're looking to buy a ready made mud guard that fits your bike first time perfectly - it's going to be shit and you'll learn nothing other than tightening four screws.
I'd buy a plastic rear mudguard from ebay (generic) and modify it to suit with some home made brackets. I'm talking stainless rods welded and bent into shape, not a bracket made of thin sheet steel.

It'll take some figuring out but that's half the fun. Don't just bolt stuff to your bike, you'll never be satisfied with it.

Until the launch of the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 they were literally the most popular Custom/Cruiser to be registered almost every month:
