mine has also broken at the point where it attaches to the headlight bolt...

seems to be a weak point in the design....

Same thing happened to mine recently too... and I am in Melbourne so taking it back isn't an option

I plan on finding a strip of scrap metal and attaching that to the headlight.

haha. mine snapped too..

i wish they would make metal ones, rather than those plastic fragile things.

I've had mine for a while now and it's still perfectly fine.

Just don't do up the headlight nut as much and it shouldn't crack.

Seems pretty logical to me *thumbsup*

No Problems here with mine cracking........and I have had a fair few trips to the workshop since fitting.

Although my entire kit including Apexi filter may be for sale soon due to other reasons........

Cheers
