It's worth the time now to modify the bracket before major wear takes place,like mine.
When I first saw the slots(worn areas) a while back ago,I thought they were some type of guide.The plastic dust did make me wonder.
Didnt take long to wear thru!

The SW said he was unaware of the problem.
I guess most just ride the thing and dont tinker!
Shitty design by MOCO.
Another thing MOCO could improve,would be to put stainless thread inserts in the outer fairing.

Had the fairing off to install new speakers last week. Had the same issue. The bracket rubbed two spots about 1/4" deep. Mounted some plastic guards (about 3/4" wide) on top of the brackets and put it all back together. Hope that stops it. Didn't have the problem on the 03.
