Scout6 Posted May 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 11, 2011 My 99 Royal Star Boulevard's rear fender seems to be shifted to the driver's right a bit. There is still a little clearance between the tire and the under fender supports, but I am trying to figure how to get it straightened out. I have owned the bike since new, and it has not been down, so I seems to be a mounting issue. I took the fender off tonight (four mounting bolts) and looked to see how I could shim it to shift it a bit. At this point, I am thinking about a spacer (washer) on the upper left bolt. Not sure how much I can shim at the bottom mount points. Anybody have experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted May 11, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 11, 2011 I had a similar issue. Pushed the mounting brackets around (lossened all the bolts) till everything was back straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout6 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks. Mine is on with only 4 bolts, and the connection points do not seem to me movable. I have the rear fender sitting on the workbench and will look at the stays and attachments to the them tonight. It is kind of scary that the entire weight of that heavy fender, luggage rack, and passenger are all held up by the two bolts at the bottom of the front and the two that go through by the battery. That is a lot of leverage and force to support... There does not seem to be any play in the lower two frame bolt up areas or in the top two.
