• 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.

Rear fender bracket broke!!!

Hello guys and girls, somehow the rear fender bracket broke at the 2 bottom bolts holding it, i noticed it when my wife was riding it and everytime she hit a small bump the fender bounced more than normal, i took the bolts off and a piece of the bracket fell off on both sides, i put the bolts back with a big washer and its holding for now but don't know for how long. It don't seem to be hit anywhere, more like it was dropped at a tire change or something, looks like the part is cast aluminium and may not be worth trying to weld it, any ideas on how to repair it or an aftermarket kit that i can install? Thanks.

Well..!!

Here's the thing...it seems to happen quite a bit and the new ones have a reinforcement. Many are covered by warranty but only for the same bracket. You did not do anything wrong just a fluke and doesn't happen to all...many removed the fender altogether some replaced them and some welded them backup and added reinforcements..choice is yours but the new brackets require a new fender as well I'm told.. Buena suerte..!!:thumbup:

Caramba!!!! that is NOT good news, i really don't want to remove the fender, the wife likes it a lot since every now and then she carries passengers.
Any idea how much the new kit cost? Any place to buy used?
Gracias mi amigo!!:)
