See what bolts your missing and go to the hardware store. That's the cheapest solution. They also have the rivet type plastic fasteners at a lot of auto stores in your missing any of them.

Yeah, my friends 400ex does that. I dont think you can really do much except find what bolts your missing like someone mentioned and tighten them up.

all my bolts are tight and im not missing any so......?!

they wobble so that they don't break...how wobbly are they?

Mine like to flap when they're on the trailer, so we made some fender brackets similar to those that were used on the Cannondales. works pretty effectively. all it is is an L bracket stuck onto the bolt then the nut. Marked a hole and drilled it in the plastic and bolted the other end of the L bracket. I'll see if we can't get some pictures rolling.

is it your rear fender/seat assembly?

[exsweetie66]

well we used one of the bolts in the original seat assembly but stuck that L bracket in there too.

yea it is my rear seat assembly, they wobble alot, its not the plastic which flexes it wobbles on the rods which go into the rear mud gaurds i think. its hard to explain......

mine used to also, so i put 2 washers on those little bars that go into the frame with the rubber mount.. its tight, so press the latch and push down on the seat and then it should be secure
