Danger! POWERBRONZE EXTENDED SCREEN

For those that have the same screen and commented they will inspect more, THAT WONT HELP. My screws were tightend every 3 or for hwy rides, and the screen had no cracks.
Just sayin.
 
Thanks.
I noticed nothing unusual, cleaned it every week, screw tightening every 3rd hwy ride about.
I do have the broken lower piece. A very nice even break from one side to the other. Powerbronze might want it. Next week I may do the same ride and look for the bigger half. I remember about where it happened.
I had approached close to redline in 5th gear( don't know how fast that was, too busy looking at tach), and had just gone into 6 with full throttle then bang! Wonder what speed. Have to try red line in 5th to get an idea.

I have never tightened mine again since I first installed it. Is there any chance you were over tightening? Just trying to think of possibilities.

Don't think so cause I just snuged it up. I remember people having g problems cause they did not tighten.
And you never tighten, over 130 mph!
Thanks for the thought.

Yea I have had it to max speed with no issues with the Powerbronze, but its entirely possible I have just been lucky. The hard plastic mounting bushings did fall apart on me at one point but Powerbronze replaced them on warranty. So I actually did remove and retighten the fixings on that occasion. I forgot about that. But the screens themselves have been fine. .
 
Been mulling over the cause of the break. I did change the black spacers to the neoprene harder white ones. Wonder if they were too hard as the black ones had some "give". just a thought.
Company said they are investigating the cause. Without the broken piece good luck with that.
