• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My Rear Fender Brackets are Cracking --- AGAIN

Does anyone have a picture of the cracked fenders? I like to check mine. Thanks.

Mike
I think ERAGS took a picture of his when they were cracked. I don't have any. The cracks are at the rear (fender) end of the bracket. Both times, mine started cracking at the bottom side of the bracket and worked their way up.
 
Just a piss-poor design. Too much weight hanging off the end of the brackets, compounded by any aftermarket plate frames. ( even the ones BRP sells)
 
Broken Rear Fender is Not covered by Best

Broken Rear Fender is NOT covered by BEST protection plan[/h]
Got a call today letting us know that our 2008 GS rear fender is not covered under the BEST protection. The Spyder is still covered, but not the rear fender. On the web page for BEST Protection in small print:

"Note: accessories, normal wear and maintenance items such as tires, batteries, bulbs, filters and lubricants are not covered,"but it doesn't say anything about body parts.

So it looks like the rear fender is an accessory (because it doesn't fit in with items like tires, batteries, bulbs, filters and lubricants), or is it that they consider the fender falling apart "normal wear?"

We are going to have to think about this for awhile. I'm not sure if I need that accessory because the 2 rear fender supports are $50.00 each plus I will need all new bolts and nuts, because of the normal wear and tear on them from the rear tire throwing things up against them.



I'm making this piece of Diamond Plate aluminum for mounting the license plate and license plate light.

Contact NHTSA 1-888-327-4236: poor design body parts are to be covered by extended warranty.nojoke
 
I hung my rear fender from above and have not had problems with it since. Fenders riding on the trailing arm get shaken to pieces, I think.
