Default Fairing Supports?

I just got home from Hogrock in Illinois and noticed my windshield was flopping around on the way home. After every bump the entire fairing would bounce around lke hell.
I pulled the front fairing off today and found all 4 inner fairing supports were broken. I had to replace the 2 speaker support brackets and the replacements were much better than the original supports and I had to repair the top 2 fairing supports with new brackets.
Never had a problem with these before on my other Eglides.

Nice job on yours. I wish I would of seen your post before I fixed mine. i used 1/4 inch stainless "L" brackets and cut them to size. These won't break again. LOL But they will probably break in another place.

Harley must of cheapened up the supports to make up for the cost of the 96 motor.
