Do you know if Dobson has done this repair before ?
If the repair is more than $600 then he's just gonna buy a set of new cases....
My buddy is freakin out that it will happen again , ive seen him loft the frontend up several times, its not like its slamming back down..... Its weird, his last motor lasted since 06!!!!! This brand new 120r only lasted 700 miles...

How about your buddy keep the front end on the dang ground to start with....LOL

J/K...I think that is odd breaking the front mount though.

Isn't that a warranty issue or was he being a bad boy with it?
