2012 wide glide cracked rear fender
Just wondering if anyone else out there has or had this problem. I have a 2012 wide glide with stage 1 (short shots, heavy breather) and have noticed lately that when slowing or downshifting my license plate vibrates and makes such a noise. Well I have tightened it twice now figuring that it was somehow loose. My buddy takes a closer look and sees that my rear fender is cracked on both sides of the tail light. You can just barely see it as the clearcoat is lifted. Took her in to the shop and the mechanic comes out to look. He didn't stay for more than 2 sec and goes inside to fill out the required docs to order a new one. Luckily my warranty ends this July but he said would take 1 to 2 months for a replacement. Crap. I said Im gonna drive it anyway (I have limited drive season)no answer. WTF

My street Bob is cracked too. I was told it's due to the center brake light design on mine. Not sure if you have that too. They're replacing mine with one that has no brake light. I'm either going to supply them with a side mount frame/light combo or their going to wire up my turns to brake as well and change lenses to red. I'm out of warranty but they're getting it covered. Can't wait for the new style rear fender.

This ^^^ I just tossed mine.Well,more or less. Just take a look at the Kia's and Hundaze if it weren't for the creases formed into em they'd dent with a wash mitt.

Don't have any cracks on rear fender yet. Just took in my 2012 Dyna Super Glide Custom for cracks on both sides of FRONT fender. Dealership said my Two year warranty will cover it. Got 1,500 miles on it! What kind oF JUNK is Harley selling!? Bike sounds like junk when in second gear now. Hope they get new one on fast. And lasts a lot longer. Would like to know why it did this? Maybe needs some rubber spacers or something.
