Subject: AW: fracture due to vibration


Hi,

It's fixed on two spots, the upper spot fixes directly to the frame with
U-bolts, the lower one fixes to the Screws of the engine protector.

I did and it worked.

>Do you think the vibrational problen only comes from the crash bars? 

I do not know where it came from. I tried hard to mount the crash bars
without any tension after the second breaking but they broke again. At the
RD07 of my friend they never broke up to now, and she's riding for about
1000 kilometers with them now.

take care - Marcello.
