Both parts of my front fender had cracks around the mounting holes.

I used "machine washers" for the front part of the fender and ground the outside edge down to make them fit. Notice how they fit perfectly around the mounting holes. First I roughed up the plastic and washers with a Dremal and then put down a layer of epoxy to sink the washers into. When that started to set, I covered the washers. Sort of encased them in epoxy.

For the rear part I did the same thing but used straps. I'm hoping this will provide enough extra support to keep them from cracking any further. Time will tell...

To any Vision Rider that reads this. Please take the time and check you bolts on the front fender. Mine were loose and I can bet if they were tight I would not of had a crack in them.
Please check your bolts and I don't care if its a 13 model

I agree, check them, but mine was tight, not too tight, but tight and mine still broke. I attributed mine to the mudflap I had put on there, but the plastic was very brittle also.
