jasonquinn Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi, I have recently purchased a 2006 Sherco 2.9 and the front mud guard is rubbing on the front and back side of the fender against the tire. I tried heating it in the center and bending it back in place. I tried spacing the front of the fender on the brace to bring it up and that worked for a day or so before contouring back to the tire. Has anyone else had this same issue? The fender is in excellent shape and I fear if I order a new one that it will do the same thing. Is there any way to make this fender rigid again and getting it spaced off the front tire without ruining it? Thank you for any help or suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Pop Rivet a Strip of Alloy for and aft of the brace to the underside of the fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Not really, something about an inch wide X eight long, eighth thick should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta_blocker Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 A small piece of aluminum strap (curved to match the fender) with a couple of longer screws helps spread the fender and helps the two mounting points from cracking in a crash (which they do easily). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
