But held together with roll pins, and hidden under filler and paint.....thats plain stupid.

words...at this point...fail me.

potentially lethal if that hadn't been stripped and the bodge spotted

It doesn’t need to have been in an accident for the fracture to happen. I’ve seen these break on tightening even with the D washers fitted.

Trigger:
Over tighten pinch bolts, with or without D washers, seen it thousands of times. They are pinch bolts and they only need pinching up  ;)

Mr_Sheene:
It's a write off either way but having done it once, what kind of idiot confirms that they're stupid by making the other side match?  Unless it was a shunt, in which case they appear to have come from another bike, as there's no evidence of frame damage on mine.

Spitfire:
That is scary, good job you caught it.

Cheers

Dennis
