Okay ... so maybe it's just because I "reuse my accessories ... but it seems to me that after two or so installs and un installs ... the fasteners tend to fail. Today I went to the garage to start measuring for the new wiring harness for accessories, and on the garage floor was a head to a cap screw.
If you've seen the pictures of my garage, you might think that was kind of a normal state. But, I'm really careful about screws and such on the floor. Had one too many flat tires from a screw in the tire.
So I checked the area around where the cap head was ... sure enough, one on the cap screws on the ergo II highway peg mounts had failed. Strange that it did happen until like a week after I mounted it.
Removed the other three and was able to just unscrew the failed one with a vice grip, no drill and tap. So tomorrow, I'll get 8 and replace them all.
Anyone notice this with Kuryakyn stuff? This is the first failure of a for Goldwing part. The HD stuff seemed to do this more often. Maybe more vibration?
