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.

Perhaps those flimsy plastic brake covers really do something useful...:^) gil A At 12:13 PM 5/10/2008, you wrote: >Has anyone any ideas as to why these cracks have come about.

They dampen vibration I believe.
