New fender design offers seamless look without visible bolts

Oct. 4, 2013

Minimizer is now manufacturing seamless paddle brackets for its fender sets that give the fenders a sleek and seamless look.

Constructed of 100% composite material, Minimizer fenders never need paint and won’t stress crack, the company said, and when used in combination with the new paddle bracket systems, absorb impact and work in tandem to soften road vibration.

“These new paddle brackets make fender installation easier, reduce suspension bulk and, of course, offer an enhanced, smoother look,” said Phil LaViolette, composite engineer. “To date, I don’t know of any other plastic fender bracket systems without visible bolts.”
