Anyone having luck getting this covered under warranty? I only have 428 miles on my bike so far. Was on a bumpy dirt road about 2 miles from home. Didn't realize it had broke till I was pulling in the drive. Went back in my car to find my license plate and turn signal. I need to come up with something quickly, weather is getting nicer and I want to ride.
Here's a cheap and easy fix. 1/2" x 1/8" flat stock with a 5/16" washer welded on one end. Mounts to the muffler mount and t/s mount bolts. Really stiffens up the rear fender.

your lucky I never found my plate, try www.brmoto.com side and top racks after you get a new OEM plastic fender and turn signal light from www.ktm-parts.com that is much quicker then the warranty claim through your dealer via www.husqvarna.com/na I had to go to DMV and buy a new license plate, I have 2 extra new OEM number plate holders part # 8000H5322, I will sell you one if you want it

They are covering it under warranty, but who knows how long that will take. I am going to throw something on there to get by till parts arrive, so thanks for the suggestions. Didn't realize how many people had this problem, guess I need to use the search feature a little more.
Yes, I hate to say it, but my dogs have constructed better thought out parts on our evening walks than the rear fender on our bikes. I relocated my plate to under the fender and place a long bolt through the fender to my nomadic rack. Never shall I worry about that again! That was of course after it broke and lost my plate.
plus a new state inspection sticker and at least 20 phone calls, photos in triplicate scanned and emailed the the dealer who then probably sent them to Husqvarna NA did I get my warranty plastic number plate holder. The one I ordered from www.ktm-parts.com had arrived 3 weeks earlier and was installed and on the bike.
If I get part number 800H5322 and a couple cheap aftermarket turn signals I should be able to get it back on the road before the warranty parts arrive.
That's what I'd do. Get the new one, chop it, reinforce it by tying it into another part on the bike. Aftermarket lights would be good because you can buy 4 for the price of one OEM, but remember if you go LED you will need to install resistors so your turn signal lights don't flash quickly(like they more than likely do now if they are not connected). Im not sure if it has been done, but a digital flasher would be a better answer than individual resistors for the lights as it requires less modification.
I paid $35.88 plus shipping. I'd have to box it and ship it UPS. paypal me $45. and it's yours, need your name and address. my paypal is john@sweettimberframes.com
