Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 KAWASAKI KLR650, BOTH REAR BLINKER RUBBER MOUNTS BROKE AND THE BLINKERS WERE JUST HANGING BY THE WIRES WHEN I GOT HOME. I AM ASSUMING THAT THE RUBBER USED BECOMES BRITTLE AND BREAKS FROM VIBRATION. THE BIKE ONLY HAS 800 MILES ON IT AND IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED AS WELL. *TR
