was this something wrong with your bike or is it a failing with the TDM mk1 design? ie is it likely to happen to me too?

Rear shock munt broke cause bike was loaded like a freight truck & wife spent too much time shopping.....
However welding extra bracing around the top shock mount would be a good idea.
I reckon I could have done without spare fuel cans if I had replaced emulsion tubes before the trip - amazing difference in fuel consumption.
I made my own racks to carry spare gas beside the motor to keep weight forward & low & put soldering mats behind them so motor didn't heat the cans.....
