The following instructions are for separately purchased fenders
(Deluxe beach cruisers with thicker frame).
If you are technically challenged I strongly recommend to have bike shop install the fenders for you.

Parts needed for fender installation

  • 2 fenders (front and rear)
  • 8 small bolts and nuts
  • 4 fender braces

The above parts comes in the package with fenders.
See photos:
