So today I'm riding my 08 FJR and swear I'm hearing a clicking noise occasionally from the front of the bike that I hadn't noticed before. Well - only 600 miles on the bike and one of the plastic tabs that hold the plastic "W" thingie on the front of the windshield (you know the one that's held on by an allen screw) has cracked.
One side of the "W" was still firmly attached - but I'm floored the #!@!@#! thing would break so easily. From the markings on the back of the "W", it's made of ABS - no idea why those tabs would have been made so brittle. There's metal clips on them - but the plastic snapped right under the clip right near where the allen screw goes through.
I'm guessing it's a manufacturer defect and I'll just bring it to the dealer to get replaced, but has anyone else seen something similar? I'm hoping it's not a part that's going to end up on backorder and keep me off the FJR for too long!
