So yeah... anyone remember me talking about how the passenger section is unsupported? Well 10,300 miles and metal fatigue happened. The passenger seat loop has no bracing on the 2017, and the constant vibration and extra weight of the rack and small bag (max load one 6-pack, in accordance with the 9 pound limit) was too much stress over too much time. I’m just glad I never let my girlfriend ride on the back.
This is downright dangerous. I’m 4 months out of warranty... I’m hoping SSR will spot me a new 2018-up style frame.
Charles.
