I noticed that the left side cover on the 2007 ST1300 in the area of the front bolt was broken (with a few pieces missing) so I decided to get a new one. After putting to new on on and riding around for a week or so I noticed a crack near the rear most bolt. I repaired the crack by gluing a backer piece but I do not understand why the crack occurred in such a short time frame. I used the correct shoulder screws and torqued the screws to spec.
Has anyone else had this problem?
