Paul,
 
I'm wondering if you've got a problem with vibration and metal fatigue?

Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Strange happening


I had the weirdest thing happen to my GL1100. My daughter was on the back of
my bike and she noticed the sissy bar was sitting further back than normal.
So I pulled over (thankfully I was only a block or so from home) and I
noticed that the grab bar which bolts at the top of the rear shocks and raps
around the back of the seat had snapped in two places!! My luggage rack
bolts onto the stock grab bar, so that's why the sissy bar had fallen
backwards some. 

I've attached a picture. The break has been circled and is repeated in
almost the exact spot on the other side. I have NO IDEA when this took place
and I know that I've never placed anything heavier than a second helmet on
that luggage rack. Anyone ever had this happen to them before?

What a pain!!

Paul
