So i have the fairing off to pre-wire for the stereo and amp arriving this week. Upon doing that I see that the bracket connecting to the top of the inner fairing is broken. Clearly i'm sure there is a structural integrity issue but how concerned should i be?
Can i drill a hole in the bracket and attach an L shapped bracket to reattach to the fairing?
Did mine last week. Just bolted L brackets to it. Works perfect.
I am thinking that is what I am going to do. I already have the fairing off in preparation for the stereo coming tomorrow so I don't want to wait to buy something and ship it so I think I will hit up the ole Home Depot on my lunch today and get a bracket and some bolts and just do it myself. Hell can even get fancy and spray paint the l bracket black.
I added the L-shape bracket when my bike was a few months old rather have them break down the road, I shape them and painted them be good for 100,000 miles.
