For those that have had this problem you'll recognize the part number! Yup, my left fairing bracket is snapped[:@]. Noticed it while in the process of changing my bars. In an attempt to save myself $36.80, anyone just bolt/weld on a brace or should I just buy it and beef it up??

 

i have seen several of these broken, mostly newwer bikes, something that comes with the bagger craze pushing the choppers off the road !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BAGGERS RULE

 

Just bought 96B (right side) for my bike. Noticed it was broken a couple of months ago when I installed my Hogtunes -- yeah it takes me a while to get around to these things. Anyway, my part costs $9.25 and shouldn't take more than ten minutes to replace. Bike has 28k miles, so assume it should last a while. Left side is okay.

 

I took a thicker piece of aluminum bent it in a vice (as mine were cracked at top bend) and pop rivited to the bracket. No problems yet. I would bet there are many bikes out there with these broken as that fairing sure shakes at idle!!!

 

I might try pop riveting something to it. Thanks for the suggestion.
