Anyone had your plastic stay bust into pieces? Very strange. I noticed a couple of cracks when putting a fairing back on after I adjusted my Power Commander. The more I kept inspecting the cracks, the more I realized this bracket was destroyed. The part I'm talking about is #23 and shown below. I'm not sure whether the previous owner messed up the installation of some aftermarket parts, being more ham-handed than necessary, maybe leading to a progressive weakening of the Stay. I do ride with a Garmin mounted on the crossbar behind the windscreen. It vibrates, especially when riding dirt and gravel roads, but it's hard to imagine that would shatter the Stay, which is a hard, molded plastic part. I'm surprised Yamaha used plastic for this key mounting bracket that keeps essentially the whole windshield and dash assembly together; and because its replacement is a huge drag, as you can see from the second pic. I'm guessing I'm not the only one that has experienced this, but who knows.
