03 Warrior Rear Fender

The fender cracking is a little bit of a few things. The 03s and early 04s came with turn signals mounted on the fender. Many were built with out adequate support behind the signals which caused the signals to vibrate and tear through the sheet metal. We had dozens of fenders returned to the factory where they were retrofitted with tabs welded to the fender strut and the fenders were repainted. This was a common “cracking” issue. Thats why we moved the signals to the swing arms.

I would add additional straps across the top of the fender (inside) to tie the two struts together. You need to stop them from moving. The vibration on the long fenders is the worst.
