MUDBUSTERS 90100-02 Fender Flares
Thank you for purchasing MudBuster’s fender flares for the 2016-2020 Polaris General 1000 (note it does not fit 2020 XP 1000 or OEM fenders)! We manufacture the best-selling fender flare kits for UTVs and side by sides! All MudBusters products are made in the USA, and these fender flares are manufactured from high-quality American made material. Your new extended fenders are designed to deflect debris and reduce the amount of mud that typically gets thrown from the tires into unwanted areas. They can withstand a lot of abuse, but they are not designed for crash protection, absorbing impacts, rollovers, or uprooting trees. If you have an accident or if you happen to damage your fenders, order discounted replacement fenders by phone (for existing customers only). Unlike other manufacturers, you do not have to buy a complete set if you damage just one fender.
IMPORTANT
Some of the images in the instructions below may differ from the actual product. In our continual effort to increase customer satisfaction, we may change the style, material, and/or hardware to serve you better. If your fenders get slightly distorted while in transit, apply pressure to the distorted areas to straighten them out before installation.
Use caution when drilling into the factory panels of your vehicle. Make sure that you do not penetrate the surrounding parts or the chassis (unless instructed). Self-tapping screws and push rivets are included as an effective and easy way to fasten the fender flares to your machine. However, you can use other methods of securing our extended fenders to your vehicle as well (i.e., rivets, misc. hardware, etc.). Remember, it may be helpful to have a friend assist you with the installation.
Unboxing
Carefully open your package from the box’s top (or bottom) by removing the staples with a flat-head screwdriver or plyers. Slide the fenders out of the box and make sure that any staples do not scratch your fenders. MudBusters are formed to fit your machine but shipped in a narrow box. You may find it necessary to apply pressure and re-bend some of your fenders for a better fit. Don’t worry, they’re very durable and will not break from re-shaping them!
Note: Using a larger drill bit may allow the fender to come off when riding! The rivets need to be a tight fit to secure the fender flare to the fender. We recommend a 21/64” drill bit.
Note: Max coverage set shown. Smaller sets (Mud-Lite, or Race-Lite) may have less hardware in the front of the front fender or the lower front of the rear fender than pictured. In these cases, it may be helpful to use the rear mounting locations first for installation ease.

Installation Instructions
2016-2020 Polaris General 1000
Front Fender Flare Installation
- Remove the bolt located at the bottom of the factory fender (bolt 1), place the fender flare against the fender, and reinstall the factory bolt with a large washer (only finger tight).
- Determine how much fender coverage you need. Once the fender is in the desired position, use clamps to hold the fender in place. Make sure the bends in the fender flare are as close to the factory fender as possible. Drill the upper fender holes (bolts 2 &3) with a 1/4″ drill bit (or slightly larger), and insert the hardware.
- Note: Most of the holes in the fender flare are slotted to allow for adjustment
Rear Fender Flare Installation
- Place the dump bed in the vertical position by releasing the dump bed handle.
- Place the rear fender against the upper rear wheel well (as shown below)
- Once the desired position has been set, install the selftapping screws to secure the fender to the upper wheel well.
