LRS Recurve Cracking
 
I have a 6" LRS Recurve and it's starting to crack. Looks like it's starting to go where the screws go through an hold it to the fairing. Anyone else have this happen. I'm pretty sure I don't have the screws too tight or anything...

Yep. Mine's doing the same thing. It is NOT being overtightened.

Started with the center and now the sides are beginning to do it. This is one I bought a year ago before their new shields came out.

I still like the way the shield performs. Good aero design but wish it wasn't "crackling" around the holes.

Mine is just starting with the center hole for now.

I too have the center hole and right side hole beginning to crack. Looks like a spider web spreading. It is not over tightened either.

Mine did the samething. Cracked in the center hole. The crack never got any bigger in 6 months.

No complaints about service here. Good product and I understand that products improve over time, hence the release of their new line.

I dont expect them to send me a new one just because of this. I got it for around $60-$70 (can't remember exactly) with discounts. It is not getting bigger and it isn't noticeable from the front.

Most Harley Windshield screws are normally torqued to 20 to 25 INCH lbs. Not hard to overtorque them if you are not using a torque wrench, that's the common cause.
