Broken Fairing braces
I just removed the fairing from my 06 FLHX and found 3 of the 4 braces were broken. Has anyone else experienced this and have you found any way to reinforce the replacements? The mechanic at my dealer said that he could tell me where they were broken without even looking at them. I bought new ones, but i haven't put them on yet because I'm getting the inner fairing painted. Thanks for any help.

All four of mine are broke.
On the two side ones I'm going to fabricate
some brass reinforcements and silver solder
them into the weak areas. The upright ones
I think can just be welded back together.

That's an on going problem..there have been several posts about it. I have only had one broken...knock on wood.
Dawg, if you have a chance or remember who makes the steel replacements would you PM me with his name or e-mail address.
