[QUOTE="FastJoyRide, post: 385846, member: 289"] Actually it is made of super-cooled cheese whiz. My father in law used to refer to this crap as "pot metal" (no idea what the reference was to, but not a doobie reference as far as I know). When you open up one of these arms like Tim and I have done, you can see that the inside is mostly air in the cast cheese whiz. Doesn't take much of a ham-hand at all to snap one of these! And that bolt that you can see in the picture is installed so that it has to be backed out towards the instrument cluster which won't allow you to remove it, without removing the instruments. As I didn't want to diassemble my whole bike, I just sawed off the head of that bolt and extracted it to the left. The new replacement bolt was installed the right way - with the nut end towards the instruments. Thanks for the memories TWN! [/QUOTE]
