Default broken fairing brackets

on my 06 SG....3rd time for the cheap moco stampings....so this time i welded some allen wrenches to the bracket for stiffness and 'fore you say it, yes its a jiggyrig ...tied those into washers at each bolt location...bet it wont break again....great project for a winter day in Texas where we have more ice and snow today

I broke my original left bracket after about 10,000 mi. they showed me the new type which were much heavier and I purchased the right one and had them put both on. Two years and at almost 70,000 Mi. now and no problems.

If you broke the new ones i would check your front motor mount.Just my opinion.
