Tension + vibration = cracking, In your case it was tension + irritaion still equals cracking and needing stress relief !

Pics of the Radiator guard please.
May have to add it to my growing list of things to do.

And I thought fear was that look of abject horror on my favourite mechanics face when I suggest that the CBX might need a carburettor synchronisation and the valve clearances done.....

I would have thought , if he was on an hourly rate... the fear would be in YOUR eyes, when HE suggests doing that...

His preferred payment is red wine and lots of it. Thankfully he doesn't drink the proceeds whilst on the job!

Rad Guard

Here's the link to the Street Triple rad guard... seems veryhigh quality... didn't fit exactly but managed to get it on with a bit of effort.... a very worthy purchase... the triple has a very exposed radiator and I had noticed quite a few impacts on the radiator already.

Back in the good old days bikes came with radiator guards as standard......

Didn't fix exactly? That's not my definition of very high quality... At that price I'd expect Santa in his fucking sleigh to deliver it, plus little elves to fit the bastard.
