No not my crack piped my pipe cracked. I have a D&D exhaust and right before where the bracket for the chin spoiler ends cracked in a line all the way across. the pipe feels secure still too the bike but this is bad and I am not sure how too go about fixing my pricey f'n exhaust. Should I simply have a weld done on it? I am pissed I think it happened when I had my tires changed and they used a jack on it maybe? Not sure but possible I don't wheely often and have never bottomed it out.

Cracks start small and then grow longer, probably started some time ago, just take it off and have it welded.

Don't leave it that way... No telling what it'll do when it finally breaks.


Have it welded, or cut it off and forget the spoiler.

Mine did the same thing
Drilled some stop holes n that worked but once I got in good at the metal shop I had it welded too.
