When this happened to me i put this out on the forum here and a bunch of people went and checked there big suckers and if i remember correctly 5 people found cracks. make sure you check it often. if i remember it has a 1 warranty from Ness. i check mine about every 3000 mile. I like the performance i get with the big sucker but its construction is junk.

just got off the phone w/ ness and they're shipping one out today, WOOHOO. i mentioned that i posted this on the boards and they seemed pretty surprised when i told them at least 2 other people have had similar issues. who knows, maybe they'll take a look at the material they're using and make that backplate stronger as a result. i doubt it but wishful thinking anyways.

"i did that but it's saturday and they're closed. i'll have to call back on monday"
It always happens on a saturday or long weekend when nothing is open! One time I suddenly (oops) needed something and had 1/2 hr to get to the store before it closed...Friday...25 minute drive across town, more in 5 o'clock traffic...but I made it!!
