Rear Carrier Breakage

I was taking my CR250 engine around to Tim's place one day and stopped by a friends place in Welcome Bay. (Wobbly Wayne)
About 2 kms from Wobblies place, I looked in the rear view mirror and noticed that the top box was sitting a lot lower than normal.
I pulled over and checked it out.
The rear carrier frame had cracked under the load of the CR250 engine in the Top Box (Not all that surprising really)
So I nursed it to Wobblies and got him to weld it up with a few extra braces to improve the strength. ($50 and a bottle of red wine ($15)) I later took it off and painted it black. (Black paint can $7)
