Dudley question...

Dudley,

You took that long trip last year and I'm sure you have put on more miles this year, have you had any problem with the rear fender/bracket cracking like others have? Just curious.

Thanks

I did, and had it changed under warranty. It was suggested to me that a probable cause could be the nuts getting slightly loose and causing less than the tight fit needed to have the fender act as an extra strength to keep the bracket from vibrating as much and causing metal stress and cracking. Man that was a long breath!!! Have put on almost 20K since, and no problems. I check the tightness when I change the oil (every 5K).
