    The small ladder-like thing that juts out rearmost from the tail and holds the tail-light assembly, keeps cracking on my bike always at the same spot on the right-hand-side. Is there a permanent fix to this problem? Happened twice already and when it happens, it causes the entire tail-light assembly to wobble dangerously when the bike is idling or ridden over bumps. I am worried that the entire ladder-frame assembly might break off and cause the tail-light to get sucked in by the rear tyre and cause a lock-up. I can't order a new part because I am in India and the shipping would kill me.

    Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!

    See the sticky at the top of this forum, te630 sub frame mods. There are ways to reinforce it. Some bolt on, others require removal of the subframe from the bike and welding in gussets. Since you have to repair yours, might as well go for one of the weld reinforcement options.
