What is claimed is: 1. A rear fender assembly for a vehicle comprising: an outer fender having a generally U-shaped cross section and an inner surface; an inner fender having a generally U-shaped cross section and an outer surface connected with the inner surface of the outer fender, wherein a pair of stiffening protrusions are formed in the inner fender to protrude from the outer surface and define a wire routing path between the inner fender and the outer fender; a bracket having a portion sandwiched between the outer fender and the inner fender, the sandwiched portion having a first surface bonded to the inner surface of the outer fender and a second surface bonded to the outer surface of the inner fender; and a protrusion of the bracket extending from the sandwiched portion through a first opening defined by the outer fender. 2. The rear fender assembly of claim 1, wherein a top edge of both the outer and inner fenders follow an arc of a circle measuring at least 120°. 3. The rear fender assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer fender forms first and second arc-shaped ridges along left and right side edges of the outer fender. 4. The rear fender assembly of claim 1, wherein the bracket is an upper bracket and the protrusion is an upper protrusion, the rear fender assembly further comprising: a lower bracket having a portion sandwiched between the outer fender and the inner fender, the sandwiched portion of the lower bracket having a first surface bonded to the inner surface of the outer fender and a second surface bonded to the outer surface of the inner fender; and a lower protrusion extending from the sandwiched portion of the lower bracket through a second opening defined by the outer fender. 5. The rear fender assembly of claim 1, wherein the pair of stiffening protrusions are formed at a central portion of the inner fender. 6. The rear fender assembly of claim 5, wherein an additional pair of stiffening protrusions are formed at a lower end of the inner fender. 7. The rear fender assembly of claim 4 wherein the upper protrusion extends in a direction which is between 80° and 100° from a direction which the lower protrusion extends. 8. The rear fender assembly of claim 7, wherein the upper protrusion and the lower protrusion are adapted to be connected with a swing arm assembly of a vehicle. 9. A rear fender assembly for a vehicle comprising: an outer fender having an inner surface, a first opening being defined in the outer fender; an inner fender having an outer surface connected with the inner surface of the outer fender; a bracket having a portion sandwiched between the inner surface of the outer fender and the outer surface of the inner fender, the sandwiched portion extending generally along the inner surface of the outer fender and the outer surface of the inner fender in an area adjacent the first opening; and a protrusion which extends from the sandwiched portion through the first opening. 10. The rear fender assembly of claim 9, wherein a top edge of both the outer and inner fenders follow an arc of a circle measuring at least 120°. 11. The rear fender assembly of claim 9, wherein the outer fender forms first and second arc-shaped ridges along left and right side edges of the outer fender. 12. The rear fender assembly of claim 9, wherein the inner fender forms a first pair of stiffening protrusions at a lower end of the inner fender. 13. The rear fender assembly of claim 9, wherein the inner fender forms a second pair of stiffening protrusions at a central portion of the inner fender. 14. A vehicle comprising: a frame for supporting a rider and connecting a front wheel assembly with a rear wheel assembly; a swing arm assembly which is movably connected with the frame and fixedly connected with the rear wheel assembly, wherein the movement of the swing arm is damped via a shock absorber; and a rear fender assembly for covering a portion of the rear wheel assembly, the rear fender including an outer fender having an inner surface, an inner fender having an outer surface connected with the inner surface of the outer fender, and an upper bracket sandwiched between the inner surface of the outer fender and the outer surface of the inner fender, the upper bracket having an outer surface connected with the inner surface of the outer fender, wherein the upper bracket forms an upper protrusion which extends from the outer surface of the upper bracket through a first opening defined by the outer fender, and wherein the upper bracket is fixedly connected with the swing arm assembly.
