Default Help, Is this a crack??
Cleaning the bike today, and I noticed this. I am not exactly sure what is going on. It looks like a crack, but how the heck would it happen? Its on the right side, behind the exhaust, right next to the oil lines. It runs in a straight line to the other side.

Phew! I was sweating that one. Thanks guys. I figured it was supposed to be there, because of the bolts and such, but sometimes you just have to make sure. Thanks again for checking.

Chaz, We need to meet up for a ride sometime bro.
