WB head pipe breakage.....

[Thump_It]

I was out riding this past weekend when my bike started backfiring like a mother.......looked down at the head pipe and it was cracked an inch from the weld where the pipe inserts into the motor. I was a good 6-8 miles from the truck so I proceeded slowly. Half way back the pipe breaks completely off. This was rather irritating as you could imagine, but I think WB is going to replace the head pipe if not the entire system. This is the WB Aluminum Race system. Anybody else have this bout of bad luck??

Yea I had the same thing happen to the header on my carbon pro header. Luckily it was at the end of the day and was a short ride to the truck so it didnt completely break off.
I called WB and they had me send the header back for inspection. I got the new head pipe in a little over a weak I think.

This time I put a clamp on the connection to try to prevent it from hapening again and so it would stop vibrating around and it hasent cracked yet.
