Unhappy Cracked Frame

I really could cry right now.

Been slaving away for the last week - day and night, fitting Dyna Coils, rebuilding a set of 41mm FCR's from scratch (that I was told would be an 'easy' conversion - pah!) and a minor service as well, all in the run up to Cadwell.

Did a trial install of the FCR's this afternoon and I've found a gaping crack in the frame.

Only saving grace is that its in a 'non-stressed' area - its on the top tube on the weld area where the small bosses are attached to hold the tank restraining front plate.

Oh well, maybe I can show the nice Ducati people at Cadwell and save some time going to a dealer
