Hi all, at the end of last riding season I noticed the left side windshield mount flexing more than the other side. I attempted to look at it over the winter but wasn't sure of the body panels removal. I assumed the the mount bracket bolts were loose and was going to red loctite them to solve that issue. After watching the madstad video on panel removal I attempted it today and succeeded in exposing the windshield mount bolts - and they weren't loose. The mount is welded to a hollow tube and the tube is cracked - this tube is paper thin and given the location not an easy fix so I think even welding is out of the question. This tube is welded to the frame and looking at it I don't think even a dealer would be able to repair it. I have a taller than stock windshield, I had the same shield on my 2017 for a years with no issue. This is a 2021 750 dct, love the bike but now with this issue I'm going to be creative. Did honda cheap out with quality? I'm thinking I will get a piece of snug fitting doweling to insert into the tube and coat the cracks with liquid metal. I'm afraid to keep riding as if this completely breaks off I'm screwed. People putting higher screens on - be aware, not sure of what years this applies to. FYI
