I rode up to Ventura, on a 180 mile round trip on the day after Christmas. When I got home and starting cleaning up, I noticed that I lost a bolt on the muffler heat shield. It happens. What surprised me was that the left rear fender bracket had broken again, after being replaced over the summer. Also, the front right bracket for the tire hugger was broken as well. It was a long day and higher speeds on Pacific Coast Highway. I didn't realize that the roads were that bad.
That type of ride is not what the Like was made for, but it did alright considering. I don't know if was the bouncing of the road that causes this, or what. I had removed the tire hugger and reinstalled it for a tire removal. Everything seemed to fit correctly without stress.
