While riding yesterday my shifter got stuck. I reached down to loosen it and noticed the engine mount was cracked. No clue how it happened. It's at the shop now. Might be looking at a new frame.
I'm kidding. I'm not there but it doesn't look cracked to me. Maybe it's just the powder coat as mentioned above. That said, not welding the top of the bracket seems a little half hearted.
Looks more like the mount than the actual frame and should be fixable.Mount looks cracked and bent inward.The oil filter looks squeezed and might have prevented further engine migration.
