Update - Another cracked reservoir, this time on the backside left corner. What the heck?! It was used but even then, the only thing I can imagine is that the shock is weak enough maybe it's getting jarred from impact? I don't ride tough and if I even think I need to stand on the pegs to avoid a...

My baby! Not sure what all has been done to it as I'm the 2nd owner but I'll list what I know. Fender delete in the rear (unsure what kit was used) w/ integrated turn signals and brake lights, aftermarket fuel controller under the passenger seat (??), K&N Filter, aftermarket grips by Spyder...
