Rear fender strut repairs
I recall reading a post by Lamont a few months back saying that he was about to repair the rear fender struts where they cracked. I've been searching for that post and can't find it. :dontknow:
How did your repair last, Lamont? Any sign of the cracking returning? Did you stiffen the strut while you had the chance?
Has anyone else been through this?
I'm about to have my third replacement set fitted (they fail about every 10000 km), and I'm looking for a better way.
Cheers;
Pogo.

Maybe if I followed the same idea (incorporating the plate to move it back to get some clearance) and use a wider guard it would work ok.
Also, I carry a pillion fairly frequently. I can usually trust my foot to stay away from the belt, but they might not be so adept. Has anyone had any success mounting a belt guard that doesn't guide stones onto the lower run and hold them there? :lecturef_smilie:
The rear fender strut issue.
I have two cracks (one on each strut) I went to my dealer and asked for warranty since my spyder is only 10 months old. If they fix it, I will need to reinforce it because it will crack again.
