Mine broke at about 18K miles. E.G.-2006 hit it. Once you see what you have to do, it's off to the hardware store for bracket material and fasteners.
Have yourself a good drill bit set and visegrip clamps (small clamps are easier). Simple fix really. It's harder to get the fairing off and on than the repair itself.

I can't remember the name, but when I had old bike, I ordered replacement ones, think from forum advise from a company that made repair set, never had a problem after, and good pricing, maybe search here, but was a long time back

Nothing to it.Scrap aluminum angle and some pop rivets.You can also throw in one of these cheapo rubber antennas for local radio reception under the fairing,but I have no idea why anyone would want to listen to their garbage,I only just put it in so the radio kinda works.

I paid an Indy twice to fix the bracket on 06 Electra. Told me there were three improvements to the bracket, model # ending in b, I think. I went to Home Depot and bought some small L braces. First fix broke. On the second fix I used rubber washer between the bracket and L brace. Also bent the top of the bracket a little. Been good for the last two years.
