i bought one of these chain guard tag relocators from jda customs. it looks pretty good and all but it doesnt seem to hold up to road vibrations and maybe wind resistance. i was going down the highway the other day and the tag part just snapped off. from looking at it i would say there isnt enough metal connecting the guard to the plate. im guessing road vibrations and wind resistance flexes it so much that the metal becomes weak and finally snaps in two. i was wondering if anyone else who has the same one has had the same problems. btw mine is brushed aluminum. also would jda replace it or refund my money? i tried to call them today but it looks like they are closed.
Problems with jda customs tag mount????

Is that some kind of red chain lube? Looks kinda cool....or just a rust?
WOW!! dont mean to laugh but dayum..
I had the EXACT same problem with a tag relocator that I made.
BA BUSA was with me when I snapped the rest of it off during a ride.
He had told me when he rode behind me that he could see if flopping up and down.
I made a second version but this time, right where it broke (exact same location as yours) I welded a small piece of angle iron underneath.
I have had this one on my bike for going on almost 2 years I think with no further problems.
And that is with speeds up to 180+ on a frequent basis.
Oh and also getting airborne at 130 plus
I just assumed people that were selling this things already figured that out...
So for future referance for everyone, if you purchase a tag relocator, yes, right where the top of the license plate is, the exact location that is in the pic, if there is not additonal support the vibrations will cause it to crack and break.

yeah, its rust.....if you run an ek chain made for drag racing on the street then you have to constantly keep it lubed....like every 50 miles....obviously you can tell i didntIs that some kind of red chain lube? Looks kinda cool....or just a rust?

Kinda a old post but happen to come across it. I had the EXACT same problem with mine!!! I was lucky enough to see it 1/2 way cracked across in the exact same spot as yours. It took longer for my "custom" (aka no Hayabusa lettering) to come in than it lasted on my bike. It still had warranty, so I returned it for a new one and sold it on ebay for 1/2 of what I paid for it, but hey at least I got some $$ back. I have a G2 now and LOVE it. WAY WAY WAY more sturdy than the POS JDA one. Plus cheaper.
Got one of their stock length chrome chain gaurds a while back.
Fit was very poor and I had to force it on and then bend it into place.
Tried to contact them through email, but they did not seem to care or want to fix the problem.
Couldn't use factory screw, had to end up buying longer bolts at autozone to make it work.
