Death by a 1000 cuts...Front Fender Broke
« on: September 11, 2019, 07:23:39 AM »
I changed the headlight to an LED and since that time I noticed a clunking noise coming from the front fairing.  Went in a second time to aim the head light.  Same noise.  Today I was taking the cover off and saw the front fender had broken.

Yes and already installed. The screws were #3 Phillips and I used my hand impact driver to break them free which took many many hits with a hammer then the top screw for some reason was much longer than the bottom screw and it took several minutes of hard twisting with the hand Impact Tool after I got it Loose because I think it had Loctite on it and probably had never been removed after I put the washers in place I dabbed a little bit of epoxy just to hold them there and all is good now.
