My units were fitted in April / May 2005. The design was apparently revised shortly after.

They did get a lot of track use and as such saw loads far in excess of what you'd get during normal road driving, that said, they're marketed as a road / track product and shouldn't have failed.

You can tell the later units as they have a lip on the top of the tube that failed on mine.

The design of the Super Street and the Mono Flex is different so they shouldn't fail like this - the later Flex brackets are still welded AFAIK so could have this issue but are far less likely.

Cheers,

Simon
