Prairie City, IA United States | Well, the front section of the front fender cracked this weekend. I bought a Cross bike front fender and was wondering if anybody who has on installed could provide a picture and possibly the length of the rear support it would be greatly appreciated. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I bought a 6" metal brace from the hardware store for $1. It has 4 holes about 2" apart. Cut it in half and use one half on each side for the back bolt hole. I painted mine black. Make sure to buy the multi toothed lock washers so the fender won't swing.
The front bolts up normally.

Prairie City, IA United States | Awesome! Thank you for the picture and help. The front fender I bought is off a hardball so it is going to look a little silly until I get it painted this winter. I will post some pictures when it is done. |

I have already replaced my rear fender once. This time the front fender cracked on both sides at the bolts. That would not be covered by the recall. I picked up a Hardball front fender pretty cheap so I will get it fitted tonight and ride it until winter. A black and red fender on a pearl white bike should look pretty trashy but at least I will be riding. 
I have some Plast-aid that I am going to try to repair the original fender. |

Prairie City, IA United States | I may have it powder coated instead. The company I work for a a powder coating booth. I know I can get the powder because CyClops did it on the lowers I bought. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Here is from further away. The Clearwater lights make it hard to see the front bracket.

Prairie City, IA United States | Well, I got the front fender changed out. Black fender with a red stripe looks a little odd on a pearl white and silver Vision.
