I own an 06 Ultra, Glacier Pearl White. I noticed a "spider web" cracking of about1 inchabout half way up the fairing. has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what could be the cause? I've had No accidents with this Ultra.

Default RE: Fairing Cracking
I have a little spider web cracking on my tour box, didn’t see it until after I installed a rack. I think it may be from the stress from loading too heavy. Not sure what you have going without more info. Fiberglass is some weird $hit so look at your loading.

Thanks for the reply. Could an Amp in the fairing cause the Spider Web cracking? Your thoughts. Also will the cracking get larger?
