Default Hidden Fairing Support

Hello all.
I am new to this part of the forum as I normally am in softail section. Just picket up a wrecked 2011 RodeGlide Ultra. Starting to collect parts to rebuild it. The crash bar is bent and the left side lower fairing support is broke. (Harley part FAIRING SUPPORT BRACKET LEFT 58454-10). Found one on ebay but seems over priced to me. Just need the left one. The turn sig body is good but not lens cover. Trying to do this rebuild on a budget. Have been seeing hidden support brackets that do away with crash bar. Searched forum but only found one bracket and they want $100 for it. Leary of the cheap chinese brackets. Anyone got a recommendation for a hidden bracket or a Left OEM bracket for cheap?

Thanks for any help.

A brand new one of those is 108 bucks, from your local friendly dealer. There are several good breakers who advertise on Ebay, so take a look around and contact them to see if they have one in stock.

search ghost brackets on eBay. I use ones from m3talworkslv, worked great!

@Kazu Hiro Thanks. No issues with faring bouncing at highway speeds? You were also able to bolt sig lights on normally? I am leaning this way so I won't have to buy crash bar...at least right now.

So I gotta ask.....is the mounting tab (for the crash bars) up by the neck also bent or distorted?

No... not bent...luckily...bent frame tab is something beyond my abilities.

I have the Hells foundry bracket, the one that goes on the outside of the inner fairing. I tried a different brand that goes in-between the outer and inner fairing. Wouldn't work with the amps and other stuff in there

no bouncing and I’ve taken it up to around 90mph. The turn signals mount fine. I had to bend my bracket a little to link it up because my inner fairing bracket is slightly off because of a crash. They come with lock washer and hex nuts because the stock studs will be too long for the acorns. The oem bracket is pretty thick and these are thin. Again. Surprisingly no bouncing at highway speeds on shitty Hawaii freeways and roads.
