    450R weak spot?

    look at these 2 pix ...i was loooking at the Baja 450 at the NY city motorcycle show and noticed a crack in the fenders next to the fuel on/off switch. I had a feeling it might be a weak spot in the fenders (maybe from your knees hitting it) not sure BUT in the "trx close ups" thread left by Norrisboat....you can see that they now have a bolt or something in the spot where the crack was. hmmmmmm

    I think the real weak spot is in the motor.
