Front fender alternatives.

Hello,

Got this bike second year now, pretty good piece of work. Simple and easy to maintain, perfect fit for a midlife crisis bugger like me.

Now, I managed to screw the front fender up. To rear bolts fell off while riding and front part rubbed against the tire. Tire's OK but the fender needs to be patched.. replaced.. or just ditched.

Two questions:

1. Bolts were pretty tight but they fell off from the vibrations anyway. After almost two years riding?! Should I have used the thread locker?
2. What other fenders might fit this bike?

I am considering purchasing one from the Yamaha Maxim models, they're more narrow but the other measurements seems to add up. And a longer bolts and appropriate spacers might do the job. Never liked that huge original fender anyway, as if you were to put the BMW sign on an Abarth.

Suggestions welcome.
