drake Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Just replaced the rear fender on my 2003 290. Everyone I have seen has cracked in pretty much the same place, where it bolts through. is there some other way of fastening it ., so that the bolts (or whatever) break instead of the mudguard?

mcman56 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 You can use plastic tie wraps in place of the bolts. Some people even use plastic rivets but I have not tried that. The plastic rivets may be available for automobile interiors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfield Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Plastic number plate bolts work well, will pull out the thread or head comes off. Cheaper than a mudguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony27 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Go the cable tie route, I always have a couple of pairs tucked away in the crossbar pad Ditching the screws was 1 of the first things the importer told me to do when I bought my first Sherco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
