didn't the early hamicad's suffer a similar fate and get recalled? Looks like the same ought to happen here

Hamicad did recall all of their fender eliminators. Never thought vibrations could do that.

i think it happened when i went over a speed bump, i am not the smallest bloke in the world but i wasn't even at the speed limit i was doing about 20 in a 30 over the things, thats the only place that it could of happened, i have contacted the company and hopefully will be getting a full refund.

my bike is now back to norm, . . . . . . . *cryz* . . . .

not related to your but i had a NWS one that needed a siginficant amount of sanding before it would fit properly, they had all the holes in the wrong place and the contors of the tail wrong, and the mounting wern't strong enough

i ended up having to make my own bracket to support the tail tidy because the holes that the instructions said to screw into had started to break

looks alright now though but a lot of effort wasted

there hugger didn't fit either

to there credit they did take it back without problems and offered a refund and courier to pick it up

it would be nice if these companies put a little more effort into measuring things

One of the bodywork companies I spoke to about undertrays had different versions for the S and the Naked. Apparently some parts of the rear end are different because of the different ride heights.

Not sure I believe them, but it would explain holes not lining up etc.
