Subject: Re: Problems with some screws
My RD04 is currently disassembled for maintenance. I've had a close look
at the various fixing plates. They look largely oversized for their
original purpose (fix radiator, engine shield ...) ... which is not to
support the whole weight of the bike when you throw it to the ground! I
suggest fixing crashbows directly on the frame and make sure that they
have some "weakest point" that would fold/break in case the shock is very
important.

PS: Micha, I'll take some pictures when balancing the carbs to prepare the
article.
