YES i had that happen to me to. all i did was find a bolt that was long enough to go though the plastics to the gas tank.I dilled a hole in the middle of the clip area on the pastic,I put the bolt though and used a piece of small hose on the screw to hold it on the plastic. also the hose piece helps from keeping you from over tighing the plastics to the tank.
I just got new black plastics and have thought about doing it to them just because it will brake on those too.Also with that dumb clip thing the plastics rattle on the bolt/stud and that pisses me off.

badazzpred......what did you finally end up doing to your plastic to fix it?? Mine broke too, and I am going to fix it, but drilling holes is a pretty big step....so I want to get every option/idea that I can. I don't mind drilling, as long as I know that I am doing it right. Thanks

I have not even fixed It yet, but the fix I came up with Is along the lines of what trailrider said.
remove the 2 stud bolts from the tank go to your local hardware store and match them up to the same bolt but a bit longer not by much
get 2 small rubber washers and some rubber hose that the stud bolt will be able to go through, then drill holes in the plastic where the original stud bolts were, take your new stud bolt slip a rubber washer on it stick it through the drilled out hole in your plastics on the outside then cut your rubber hose to length slip that on the stud bolt behind the plastic and screw it back into the original hole I think It Is a better way to mount the front fenders then what came stock If you have any other questions just post I will get back to you.
