Never mind 2K, remember there is a special place in heaven for old GRT riders and a special place in hell for those that defect from GTR to BMW

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

No - it's plain metal but it has a motion sensor and a piercing alarm goes off if you even look hard at it. Well, at least when you don't want it to it does. 
Luckily (maybe not) I was just pushing the bike backwards to get out of a parking spot and the moment I heard that crunching sound I stopped. But by then a good chunk had broken off already. If I would have ridden off forward the lock would have hit the brake and most likely it would have resulted in a fall and a lot more damage like warped disks  or worse.

I hate disk locks for exactly that reason.
I watched a friend write off a nearly new ZZR1100 with a forgotten disk lock.
He was ok, but the bike was a mess.
Thank god for Fully Comp.

I use a shell/cable lock that lives in the topbox and locks through the rear wheel and over the saddle when in use.
As you climb into the saddle you get a lock in the jacksie which reminds you that it locked. 

As for 2Kwacks receding Hair Line, if the line is straight and in the centre then it's probably where the 2 halves of the front mudguard are stuck together. If that is the case then definitely a warranty fix.

Boomer.. I do I,ve a receding hairline but that's because I,m getting on now however the gtr is only 19 months old, so still a pup.. but I've pointed out to Mr kawasaki that it may I've split along the seam/join, but they reckon there's no seam or join on the gtr mudguard. I have checked this by feeling underneath the gaurd and there seems to be no join, but when I get the half price replacement change over. I will be having a closer look, and if there is a seam/join in the mudguard Mr kawasaki will be coughing up the other half.. Ho'

Dave I had a good look at my front mudguard today and I cant see any line or crack. So to me that suggests that yours is defective.  If it was a characteristic of the guard, then they'd all have them surely?

I'm confused now, the point kawasaki was making was there is no seem/join under the gaurd, so it dose not have a weak point. which suppose they have a point there! if I remove the gaurd and see a seam/join then this can be classed as a week point which may have caused it to split, if there is a seam/join then I will expect them to refund me the half I've paid.
