EX30 fender strengthening mod. No more flippy flappy floppy!


Recommended Posts

Another little job out of the way - was getting really annoyed with the flappy stock metal fender, likely made worse with the Grizzla extension hanging off the back of it. The thing used to bounce up and down like crazy even during normal street use so I took it off, had a look around my shed for something suitable and glinting out of a corner of my metal scraps area was some 15mm alloy angle. That'll do!

It's massively reduced the flex. Just needed to drill 4 holes for 4mm bolts/nuts. I would rather have used black hardware but I only had the usual silver to hand. I guess I will add a dab of black paint when I get around to it.

Clearance looks tight but it's actually fine even with the Kenda knobby.
