hello bud, really sorry to shit on you're parade but this frame does actually have a small crack in it, just above the bash plate mount, i know this because i ride with the previous owner in my local town, he told me had had told you it was cracked and you were fine with it? obviously not the case and if i knew he was going to do this i would off told you, this is well out off order, if i was you i would get a screw driver and prise that protector off and check it to see if its spread, you wont break the protector im sure, sorry to be a bearer of bad news bud, i will be having words with this guy
