Abstract
The invention is a fender hinge cover for covering the damaged area which typically surrounds a motorcycle fender hinge. The fender hinge cover comprises a shell having a notched recess and bores which are threaded. Locking screws, threaded to correspond to the thread of the bores, are located within said bores. The shell is placed over the hinge and hinge pin of a motorcycle fender and the locking screws are turned within the bores so that they travel towards and contact the hinge pin, thus locking the hinge within the notched recess of the shell. Accordingly, the fender hinge cover is secured to the hinge and thus fender of the motorcycle, and conceals any damage to the finish of the fender which may immediately surround the hinge.
