Default Broken Bulk Heads!

Is there any way to protect or at limit the number of front bulk heads I keep breaking. Seems any time time I dink a front wheel I breaking it! (dont get me wrong sometimes I REALLY dink it and I'm not surprised it breaks, but everytime???). I've just got the standard hinge pin cover on, is there a modified one that takes some of the impact maybe?

me neither, use the FT blue front brace and you should be fine.

Also, drive less aggressively

The front brace helps. I broke 2 bulkheads when i sarted within a week of each other so stocked up on them and havent broke a single one since, but still managed to do the rear shock tower twice!

Cheers guys, I'll pick up a couple of alloy brackets. I'll see if our local shops carry them as stock items.

I learned a lesson here - loadsa beer, 4.30am, power wheelies off your wifes new rug to impress equally trolleyed mates. Not a good idea.
