Are any mud flaps available for the front fender that don't require drilling into the fender?  That either use double-sided tape or clamp to the inside of the fender?
Thanks!

The chrome front fender extension is the only think I've seen for this.

Properly installed, it only extends below the fender rear about an inch anyway.

And you have to drill holes (3, I think), and if you're not careful, you'll drill your front tire too.

I have them on both my bikes.  I'm not sure they keep that much more mud off the bike though.

You can drill the holes with the wheel on the bike, just put a block of wood between the fender and tire.

I get that, I was just offering advice in case it came to that. You can get commercial super strong velcro and lay it in there. You would have to buy the mudflap(s) that either come with it or buy the flaps and have it first attached to the flap, then to the inside of the bottom of the fender. That would require a good cleaning of the area beforehand. I would think it wouldn't be a very permanent attachment unless you used something like Alien Tape. That stuff is a whole 'nother world of sticky.

I would agree some commercial velcro,  however that spirit be such a pain to get off, I would think drilling it would be a better future idea because it that

The Valkyrie comes with a rubber pad under the front fender.  I don't know what holds it on.  But it went on when new.

The only way I would consider only glue would be to make one tall enough to go up under fender at least 8”  Lots of contact area.

I had a thick leather mud flap on my first Valkyrie. I used super automotive goop to glue it on, I’m sure it’s still on today
