| Subject: | Cracked wheel fairing brackets |
Has anyone any ideas as to why these cracks have come about. The bracket
bearings are free and the fairing free to move. Only thing none
standard, as this is a 79 Tiger, is it is not fitted with brake covers.
I have had the question up on the Gang, but apart form one reply saying
never seen before had no other feedback, thought there may be a few more
in the business guys looking on here who may have a view.
If this had only been on one of the brackets I would have just put it
down to a one off situation, but from the pictures you will see the
other side has started in the same place. All comments welcome as I have
a new bracket for the one cracked right though, but don't want the same
thing to start happening again.

Ian... perhaps vibration caused by 150 mph airflow over the brackets?
Perhaps those flimsy plastic brake covers really do something useful...:^)

Have you checked to ensure the nose weights are present? They dampen vibration
I believe.
