#117371 chaneyd (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 9 Rear Fender Frame Cracked 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Need advice. Notice rear fender on my '99 sagged to the left a bit. Shook the fender and it moved about 6" up or down. Crawled underneath and noticed that the subframe to my fender is cracked almost in half on the left side. Is the subframe separate or do I need to buy a whole new fender? Thanks for any input.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #117372 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 10751 Re:Rear Fender Frame Cracked 2 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Quite common on the earlier bikes. The subframe and fender are separate pieces. You can fix the crack and then reinforce both so that it doesn't crack again.

Took fender off spot welded a strip of metal betweem the bottom fold in the fender to about 1/4 " from character line,ground down the sub bracket and mounted ,,glassed up the inside of fender painted it ,,fender is solid now and doesn,t shake as much either.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #122797 Frank_W (User) Hitting deer -- in the FACE!!

I used some JB Weld, clamped it overnight, and it's been just fine, ever since. I'm sure it would work beautifully on your fender, especially if it's in a fairly unnoticeable place.... Good luck!   Logged     It\'s easy to tell who your real friends are: Lock your dog and your wife in the trunk for an hour. When you open it, notice which one is happy to see you.

Both sides, same place. Good as new if not better.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
