floppy fenders?

[nskukalek79]

i don't know if anyone else has the problem i had with floppy, saggy, and broken fenders...but if anyone is interested i can post some pics on how i fixed mine.

i now have fender brakets, my rear fenders are solid. my seat comes off very easily without removing the fenders as well.:D

i am interested too, since my maiers are even floppier than the stock ones.

I saw someone mount a metal plate from one side to the other under the rear fenders and that stiffened them up.

i got 6 pics

i had to weld a piece of angle iron to the right side of the frame and drill a hole in it for the bracket to bolt up to it

[nskukalek79]

just bend an 1/8in X 1in bar to form to the fender...i just used a vise. and get a piece of 1/4in round stock and cut it to fit from tip to tip of the bent bar

[nskukalek79]

after the bar is cut just make it to a size where it fits without interfering with the bolts

this side i bolted it on to the bolt hole for the trunk thinger that came on it....and i drilled the brackets before i welded them for a 1/4 - 20 bolt on top (for the plastic) and i forget the metric size for bolting it to the frame.

make sure and rubber washers in between the metal and plastic. i used big washers for more surface area so the plastics don't wear egg shaped holes and pop out of the bolts

in the end my fenders sit back to the height they were new if not higher. they are sturdy and no longer flop. it's nice being able to take the seat off without having to maneuver the whole back fender assembly.

i just took a few quick pictures...if you want something in more detail let me know and i'll do it as soon as i can.

as long as you have a drill, someone that can weld for 5 min, metal, hack saw blade, and bolts you can do this to your quad.
