08 blade fairing fan out issue

hi all don't mean to panic everyone but heard some disturbing news basically the blade has sold very well where i live and i heard yesterday at a bikers cafe (sunday so was packed!)

that at the bottom of the fairing behind the front wheel the fairing pops apart and fans out whilst you are riding!!!!!!!!
heard this from two blade owners who were also moaning about the poor finish when i told them i had done over 150mph they were amazed to hear my fairing hadn't popped open as theirs did at 70 mph on the motorway!!!!

this is due to the fairing clip not being strong enough it doesn't snap it just works loose the dealers are aware and are waiting for a reply from honda
just thought i should warn you of a possible issue cheers all

The fairing are a jigsaw puzzle. I wonder if they have it all joined together properly. It is easy not to get it right.
