I'm not sure how best they would be inspected. I think race teams X-ray their parts before use.
Given the Sportster has been on the market for 10 years and (so far) mine seems to be the only one that has had this fault I'd put it down to either weak material or a dodgy weld rather than a serious design flaw. However it does expose the weakest point of the design.
