I'm positively impressed by the design and construction, and I think they look pretty good, too. I provided my own M6 screws to take advantage of a couple of available braze-ons for mounting the rear fender.
I haven't ridden in the wet with them yet, but the Longboards provide more coverage (especially the front fender) than the ones I had been using.
don’t use them if it’s under 30F outside. They become brittle, even when new.
also, they kinda suck if you ever ride over 15mph. Because their mounting brackets are inside the fenders, they interrupt the water’s movement and drip onto your feet. If you’re not handy with a drill and surface rivets, spend the money on some VO/Honjo fenders.
