Great, thanks. They are shorter, but not as short as many plastic fenders, and I always install mudflaps.
How does the quality -- gauge of the metal, design and quality of the fittings -- compare with Honjos or Berthouds? (VO's, at least the pair I bought 3 years or so ago, is not as good, but for the price acceptable.)
