Hey Ryan,
IF your gonna use this fender full time, a fender mounted plate would be ok.

BUT, being I'm VERY anal retentive

, I'd have to buy a dozen tag mounts, one for every "Fender of the day", and I'd be screwed on Commando Day, days I run with no fender at all.

As the pic's will illustrate, an axle mount plate eliminates the problem and expense of buying several mounts. (AND serves as my chain/sprocket guard.)

(I GUESS if I was really concerned about the money though, I'd leave the damn thing alone!

)
Full fender mount;

No fender mount:

Bobbed fender mount:

Flared fender mount:

JUST SAYIN'

Peace, AND JOB WELL DONE!
