I have the Competition Werkes Fender Elim and I had the exact same thing happen!!! Now I'm only 175lb and was shocked the rear suspensions would travel THAT much to have the tire bend the plate. I'm damn glad it didn't cut the tire.
What I did is stiffen up the suspension to "5". Feels...
I feel your disappointment man. My right one actually broke off!! Got in touch with Fly-N-Cycle and they agreed to take them back even though they were damaged. I thought, hey what a great company. After sending them back nearly a month ago still no credit.

Targa just came out with one. Better price than most out there. Already have the Comp Werkes but figured I'd pass this along to anyone else still looking.
