Nasty headstock fracture by the look of it - but I could be wrong.

Thirded. Did you hit something head-on?

[paulc]

Forthed'ed'ed'ed but is that a stock item,looks like someone has welded it before and not the manufacturer.

Give yourself a pat on the back.... hairline crack just in front of the oil filler , not quite the headstock gusset, but a bit of a pain either way.... it has been weeping oil from the crack for god knows how long I always thought it was the o-ring on the oil filler pushing oil vapour out but no it was a fine crack.

So its off the road for a few months till repaired.

Shouldn't take more than a few minutes of nitrogen-welding... including reinforcing the area!
