Rad Modifications / Re: Hide those fender brackets.

No. Just the fenders and helmet to match. My research shows that low visibilty is the main cause of accidents. For some reason people "see" people on bikes and motorcycles but sometimes it doesn't "register". Plasti-dip "Blaze" helps register, thinks I.

I am 6'0" and I have a Rad mini step-thru. I was having trouble with my arms tiring after a ride. I was leaning too far forward because of the over-long reach for the handlebars. I raise the bars as high as they would go and this supplied some relief. I finally reversed the stem and WOW, what a difference! I am very comfortable riding now. If anything the handling is better too. It only requires the removal or loosening of half a dozen 6mm bolts and screws on the LCD display.

Rad Modifications / Hide those fender brackets.
March 27, 2020, 01:19:23 PM
I really like the quality of the materials and workmanship on my Rad mini. However the first thing that caught my eye was the cheap looking fender brackets on the OUTSIDE of the fenders. I reformed the bracket by making a V shaped bend in order to narrow the width of the wire so it would fit INSIDE the fender. I then screwed a bike reflector containing a 1/4" threaded post through the fender and attached the bracket with a wire clamp and nylon lock nut. The bracket must be reformed carefully so that the fender remains  straight.
