Rear fender broke off??

[Kwalsh]

While on a charity ride today somebody came up to me and told me my fender was rattling, so I looked at it and found out 3 out of the 4 bolts had broken off the support arms? A few zip ties and I was able to get home, was on,y 20 miles but has this happened to anyone and where can I get a decent fender elimanator kit or the original brackets?

Looks like an 08 GS

Yeah..!!

the GS/RSS/RS had this problem. There is now a fender elimination kit that is like the sport bikes. Some had the braces crack and break off some had the bolts problem. There are fixes depending on what happens. The newer models have a reinforcement wedge on the braces...check with our sponsors on that fender replacement...:thumbup:

Happens a lot

I had to change mine out last summer. Both sides had cracked over halfway thru. I would get them welded up, if you can't find a set cheap. I'm told my rear fender bounces very slightly going down the road, which makes sense of why the brackets crack. Too much fender, not enough bracket.

Sorry it is an 08 gs, I am going to look at fender eliminator kits

I note you posted the model was 2008 GS. There were some issues with broken license plate mounts and fenders.

I replaced my 2008 fender with a Corbin with built in license plate holder. We had a broken plate frame on our 2009 RS. Dealer fixed that for us.
