Kevin, I had Saddlemen Drifters that also cracked very badly. I called them and got very good service. I was preparing for a trip and was told they were out of stock and just to do whatever mods were necessary to make them work for me for the trip. I was apprehensive, thinking hacking them up would be their excuse not to honor warranty. Not so. They recommended bolts and fender washers, and when my new set came, they cracked as well. They were also replaced without question. The 3rd set was sold here... with full disclosure. Give them a call. It may not work for you but it worked for me.
