Yesterday I was cleaning the Freewheeler and I noted that one of the JES fork mounted wind deflectors appeared to be loose. On inspection the mounting bolts weren't loose, it was cracked almost all the way through where the cutout is for the turn signal. It appears to be a cyclical stress fracture as there are no dings or scratches on the deflector as if something like a big rock or road debris may have hit it and started the crack. The cut out area for the turn signal is the thinnest area and would be the most likely area for a stress crack to start. It is so close to having cracked all the way across that I am sure if I had ridden the trike it would have cracked all the way and fallen off. I installed these in January of 2016 so probably won't get any consideration from JES but I am going to let them know what happened as I would consider it to be a design flaw.
If you have these wind deflectors on your Freewheeler you should check them for possible cracks in the turn signal cut out area.
I was going to post a picture but for some reason I can't get my cell phone to send the picture to my computer. If I can get the picture to upload I will post it.
