Ever since i rolled it a few weeks ago the front fenders shake when i ride because both of the mounting tabs broke. There is not enough of the plastic on them to sip tie it at all.

So i was wondering what the best type of glue would be to glue them back together.

Krandall

I do not think it's possible to glue the tabs back on.. I tried lots of different things.. I tried gorilla glue. An Epoxy, and a construction adhesive.. Nothin. (this is on my shaved set) I ended up putting a few small holes through the plastic and ziptieing to the frame.


You can see it in this pic a little bit. Just in front of the reverse knob on both sides. :thumbs:

Buy a couple of "L" brackets, then bolt to fender and frame..

dude im down to try what ever, i tried zip ties they break, i tried apoxy, didn't hold up for more than a hour.

Im thinking of drilling a small hole into the plastics directly where the hole for the grab bar is. Then screwing threw a bolt and attaching a nut on the end. But i wonder if that will stress out that area of the plastic and expand the hole???
