Late model 400 brothers, I was wondering if any of you have found a cure for the floppy rear fenders that seem to be very common on our "broken in" plastics. Just want a cheap fix. Ive already had to stitch up a crack on my rears with several wire ties. I guess im due a set but college student budgets are very tight. Any ideas are very appreciated.

Thanks.

i have seen some people rig up some supports for the back but the only real solution is new plastic. floppy fenders don't affect anything run them untill you can't zip tie them anymore

I'm thinking of that just putting it underneath so you cant even really see it

Yeah that would work. I also put another brace on cuz it didnt quit cracking even though I drilled holes at the end of the cracks, you could try that too.

nice, i think i will try that on the underside. Is there any glue or epoxy that sticks to the fender plastic good?
