    Are you talking about the plastic pieces?? Ya, they are junk IMO... Lots of people have problems with them... Remove them completely, problem solved, and still looks ok. Then again, I have robust Motosportz Rad Guards that finish out the look, and keep the rads protected.

    yep there the ones, they fix to the rad its a weak spot i think ,once the rad fixing breaks off there is no way of holding them on:thumbsdown:

    those little black/gray lower shrouds are only like $6 here in USA so I guess you get what you pay for.
    Poor design but I just fork over the $ for new ones....they are like giving up 2 cups of coffee (or tea if your not from US)

    Oh, so the mounting hardware point is ruined / gone? That really sucks! I don't have any suggestions for that! Sorry!
