Ashley, I agree.  My ST has been flawless ('cept for the fuel spender 
thingy) For this first 15,000 miles.  She was 1 year old last Thursday, when 
we discovered the exhaust leak.  In my case, I do not consider this a 
"design flaw" as much as a "assembly error".  The design is fine, the 
bracket was simply rotated to a bad spot (by the dealer, I suspect, during 
pannier installation).  But my dealer has been VERY fair and accomodating in 
all my dealings with them (shamless plug RPM cycles, Dallas TX).  That is 
the reason I will allow the welding of the crack.  Why make Triumph or RPM 
pay for something that can be repaired to as good as, of better than new?  
Hey, let's be logical and fair in our dealings with our dealers and the 
factory.  Just because you can "get away" with something doesn't make it 
right.
