Something jumped up and bit me

Something jumped up and took a bite out of my Spyder in the ARSh.....

Symetrical break too. Are you going to replace the fender?

Wow what happened? I'm sure it's not one of the spyder around.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Will a mud guard help protect?

Hit some debris in the road, couldn't avoid it, not sure what it was. Didn't think anything was damaged though until I got home and looked at the rear. Not sure what the fix will be, looks like to replace it, it would require a entire rear section.

Interesting..!!

rubber mudflap will fix it..but what did it is the interesting part..hard to back into anything with the hitch there, could the trailer tounge have got caught up there in a big bump....:dontknow:

<<< could the trailer tounge have got caught up there in a big bump....:dontknow:

That's possible, I was towing trailer at the time

<<< Scotty

Do you know if it's the same P/N for 2010 model? Is this simple enough to replace yourself or would you suggest letting dealer handle it?

I believe so, but you can check here. http://parts.spyder.brp.com/Index.a...sctr1ndm6&catalog_id=0&language_id=1&siteid=1

Dropping the fender is pretty simple if you have a set of torx bits (and know where to look for the screws), but removal and replacement of the license plate wiring adds a bit of complexity. Not knowing your particular skills or the contents of your toolbox, it would be hard to say if it was within your scope or not. Any dealer who could not do this in less than an hour is either out to rob you or is very incompetent, in my estimation. It never hurts to ask up front what they would charge you.
