[QUOTE="notap, post: 17525, member: 1912"] Hi, I'm hoping with your wealth of knowledge, I can get some advice (I am a VOC member, but my email/isp has caused some problems logging in). I have finally got my Shadow registered and on the road. The weather is warming here in Aus and it's a joy to ride. I notice after returning from a long bumpy ride that a crack has developed in the brazing on the right hand RFM fork lug. I haven't been kicking it over on the rear stand etc, as I installed a new centre stand. The crack may have been there before and I just didnt notice. My wife says its caused by God punishing me for spending more time and money on the bike than her. That aside, I would appreciate some advice on how to fix this. Do I need to pull it apart and then get someone to rebraze? Do I need a new lug? I assume the lug simply inserts into the fork and then it is brazed? Ive tried to attached a photo of the offending item to this post. I thank you for your time. This is a wonderful club and forum and I have found the advice an information invaluable. Rob [/QUOTE]
