Street Bob rear fender cracking issue : solutions
There are two threads running on this issue :
this one
and
and this one
I would like to keep a dedicated running / brake light on the rear fender AND have the brake / turn signals continue to do their work. So I'd like to find a lighter weight tail light.
I'm not happy about the prospects of moving the license plate. I would probably rack my shins on a horizontal side mount.. ad as I travel state to state quite a lot, and don't want the tickets associated with a vertical mount.
What are others doing? Any other options to be explored?
Can we reinforce the fender?
Find a better way to attach the tail light / license plate bracket?
What else?

- Some are proposing removing the sparto tail light
- Others suggest moving the license plate to a side bracket
- Others just replace or repair the fender

I agree... I've had my '09 for about 2 1/2 yrs now with 13.4K miles (yea, I know, I'm not riding it as much as I should) and the rear fender is fine.

I don't know that this would fix anything but if vibrations are part of the issue, this might help.
