Default broken clip ons

I'm new to this forum but have a concern. A month ago I snapped the right clip on of my '05. Last week the left clip broke while I was trying to change my grips. It just snapped in my hand. Anyone else have any failures of the clip ons? The bike is new to me.

HELP please,
Robin

Have you been working out?
Wow! Snapping bikes with your bare hands - I'm not arguing with you.

Seriously, I've not heard of any problems with broken 'bars, apart from the obvious - like when the bike has been crashed for instance. Has the actual bar snapped or has it failed at a weld/seam/etc?

Have you got a picture of the break - that might identify the exact failure better.
