Update on rear fender

[tobor9]

I weny to a custom cycle shop here in Charleston and had them weld it for me,they had some trouble as the metal is so thin they had to use a low power welder so they would not burn through it and was able to do it but could not reinforce it,they said it would break next to the reinforced area. I don't understand why BRP wont make a better fender,this is for safety,not just looks:banghead:

Depending on year I'm told they are a ware tee replacement good luck.

it's the rear fender and both BRP and BEST won't cover the repair. it's a 2011 RS and the BRP warranty expired in July,BEST only covers drivetrain not body parts so it was get it welded or do without as I can't afford to buy another crappy fender that would also break.

SAME PROBLEM

Not that this helps you now but, I have an 08 GS and back when it was reported that this was showing up as a problem area, I took mine apart. It had a little RUST so I cleaned it, sprayed it with RUSTOLEUM rust converter and then painted it. I have checked it the past two years and it looks OK so far. PS I also put some silicone between the pieces before I bolted them back together,......maybe this keeps the moisture out ???????......Mike :thumbup:

Getting rid of mine was the Best mod I made- Mine was about to dig into my rear tire before I noticed it?
