Anybody else have this problem? I fitted mine a week after purchasing my X, only for the ******s to crack on the top part right next to the bolts(cant get any more tech than that!)after 2 weeks. I took them back to the dealer who welded them up for me, apparently they have the discretion to do so. Low & behold they cracked AGAIN after a month so they fitted some new ones

Anyway, my bikes been in storage through winter & I have only started using her for the past month or so. I took her for a service only to see that they had cracked yet again they've been welded....again, so I can only guess when they will do a wobbly on me for the fourth time?!

The bike was standard when the first set cracked, and has CCC's with the second failed guards, and now the toe rags are claiming the cans are causing excesive vibration and causing the cracks, which is obviously ******!!

I'm now considering getting some new guards.....am I the only unlucky sod with this crack addiction

The circled joint is where it cracks...
