This Problem Across All Years
LUCKILY FOR ME I WAS PARKED. WHILE WASHING MY VISION I NOTICED THE REAR SECTION OF THE FRONT FENDER WAS BROKEN & DANGLING. I REMOVED THE PIECE SO IT DIDN'T FALL OFF WHILE RIDING AND GET WEDGED IN THE TIRE. I HAVE BEEN RIDING THE MOTORCYCLE WITH THE FRONT SECTION OF THE FRONT FENDER ONLY. IT HAS FOUR BOLTS HOLDING IT ON. THIS MORNING 7/30/14 (29,700 MILES) I HEARD A RATTLE WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE LEFT SIDE HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY LOOSE. AGAIN LUCKILY I WAS ONLY 2 BLOCKS FROM WORK. NOW I DON'T HAVE A FRONT FENDER ON THE MOTORCYCLE AT ALL. *TR
