Hey Guys,

Anyone running the Yamaha aluminum rear bumper? I'm on my second one and the tabs that go down and mount to the mud flap bracket keep breaking! Anyone experience this?

Thanks,
Tom
 
it happened on my stock one hollow metal tubes hehe, must be keepin weight down lol.

i had a buddy [gukrockit] weld in solid bar. much better now good luck with yours, is it from backing up?
 
Yeah mine bent too. I wonder if plugging the hollow tube solid with something that will cure hard and rigid would fix the problem.

I should have been more clear.... the bumper is fine. The bar across the back is fine... it's those two little aluminum tabs that are welded on that hang down and help support the bracket that goes across then end of the tunnel where the snow/mud flap bolts on. The tabs are really thin and crack in about 1 ride.
