So I noticed a crack on the top left side of my headset on my GTS, starting at the opening under the mirrors, mysteriously appeared. To my knowledge there has been zero impact to that area but somehow the crack appeared anyway. So do dealers sell pre-painted headsets and if so how much are they? I guess I need to put something on the to stop the crack from growing in the meantime, what would be a good idea?
I've read that the brake fluid can crack the plastic. Don't you have a leak (or your mechanics change the fluid? )
To fix your problem, you can dismount the cap, and weld the slit by dissolving the plastic along this one with a soldering iron.
