Driving Lights Fall Off 9 Years, 6 Months ago  
I am brand new to this sort of thing (posting on a forum of any kind). So bare with me. I have a 2005 Roadstar Silverado. I was just out for a ride with a buddy and all of a sudden my driving lights fall off. The weld on the bracket that is bolted under the headlight just broke. Is this a common problem? I have never heard of this before.

It's been known to happen rsrider. The welds can be pretty weak on those things it seems, but it doesn't happen to all the bikes (that I know of). I hear the Cobra light bars have pretty strong welds. Or order another set from Yami.

By the way,

I've never heard of it, but sounds like your going to be changing the light bar.

Hey rsrider
Yamaha lightbars are known to brake at the weld, I agree with PapaTom on the Cobra thats what I went too
