When I noticed the cracks I loosened up the wing nuts that came with my bike to hopefully allow it to last until I found a solution. Well naturally I lost one of the bolts on a ride to a local Harley dealer in search of a heat shield for my newly installed muffler and I pulled in license plate hanging on sideways. Really made me feel like I felt in there, my bike was shaking itself to pieces faster than a couple servings of shake n' bake.
