hair line line in front mudgaurd!

[2kwacks]

well would you "adam and eve it" I was polishing the gtr yesterday. and found hair line crack in the front mudgaurd from the very front tip right up the middle and is approx 2 inchs long. it's dam hard to see, I only noticed it because the white residue of the polish got in the crack! there is no damaged whats so ever to the front mudguard not even any stone chips. don't know how long this as been there for, but one thing is for sure..! it will only get worse as time goes on. this as most likely been a defect in the plastic from new, and over time with wind,vibration e.t.c it as started to split. I can't see kawasaki not replacing this under warranty, because there no damaged any where on the mudgaurd, infact the paint finish is perfect. so fingers crossed Mr kawasaki says

I have a new one in my shed if it's any use to you. 
Sadly it's green.

dam! wish I had bought a green one now, wash your mouth out with carbolic soap.. I hear the "wolf" muttering I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch... but it's plain to see by the perfect paint condition of the mudgaurd this was not caused by anything striking it. I,ve already phoned Mr kawasaki who as told me to ask the dealer to take a few pics and submit the claim and they will look into replacing it under warranty. hopefully this will be resolved and a new mudgaurd fitted before my touring trip on the 3rd of august.

Big K are usually very quick at doing the warranty claims.  I had a bodywork issue and the new panel was there within 3 or 4 days

I might be interested. Bloody disk lock - first the alarm goes off every time I turned my back but when I really needed it not a sound. 
Fortunately I found all the bits and glued them back on, but a new one would sure look a lot better.

mecki.. I,ve had a few mates who I,ve forgot about the bloody disc lock over the years, do you use the bright yellow/green or other mad colours... "don't forget the dam disc lock reminders" before you do one" p.s sorry to hear about that, but it looks like you in luck for a replacement

I use one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Motrax-Disc-Lock-Reminder-Cable-Forgetmenot-/251103213435?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a76eaf77b#ht_500wt_1204  and as of today Ive never forgot to take the lock off  One end on the lock, the other end is on a plastic ring that goes on the throttle.

there the buggers! such a simple idea, yet.. it saves so much pain and in the worse case scenario a trip over the front end!
