Supporting Member piotrek Posted November 3, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted November 3, 2018 Noticed my dash display vibrating fore and aft a little more than usual during several rides last week. Initially thought that it was just play inside the many rubber grommets in that entire assembly up front, but nope... cracked stay support/brace. Immediately remembered reading this thread. I was going to try and enjoy another couple of weeks of riding, but it looks like I'm done for the season. Might weld it up and reinforce other spots while at it. If not... #17 on the parts fiche, not expensive at ~$140CAD, just a pain to replace. The Kappa screen (shortened 3") and the X-Creen Tour deflector might have been just a little too much for that rather thinly stay assembly. I know it took a beating on the James Bay trip, but who knows. I might re-think my windscreen choice to something more aerodynamic. For now... I guess I have work to do.

Premium Member micah2074 Posted November 6, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 6, 2018 Would JB weld fix it, or reinforce one that wasn't broken....yet? Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfjniner Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I have a bent one from a deer strike that you can have. Although it is bent in so many ways, it would almost be impossible to get right, but it's yours if you want it. Okay, I have had my fun today.

Premium Member micah2074 Posted November 6, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted November 6, 2018 Would JB weld fix it, or reinforce one that wasn't broken....yet?Temporary fix maybe. Wouldn't hurt to reinforce I guess... cold weld or similar, but would have to strip the paint right off. Does the “tube” have that’s cracked run all the way across? Could a piece of all thread be run through it? Let’s go Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
