Done the same after the first one broke and have yet to have the issue again.
Fairing mounts
In 08 HD came out with a revamped fairing mount do to massive amounts of customer complaints / warranty repairs. I just found out today that my left side mount is broken and under warranty off to the shop I go 07 Streetglide.

'08 Ultra here. Just sent my stereo to Iron Cross Audio for repair. Noticed when I removed the stereo that both inner mounts were broken. Got a call from Iron Cross-apparently my stereo problems were caused by vibration damage. The stereo had been vibrating so hard that it was banging on my riser bolts.
So just a heads up -- the broken mount issue can cause expensive damage.
$250 plus shipping for stereo repair, new mounts through HD are $112 (supposed to be new design and different material).
I'm either buying aftermarket or making/repairing my own. I'll be damn'd if I'm gonna give HD $112 for something they should have built right the first time.
Not to mention the fact that I had my stereo replaced under warranty at 12,000 miles, and I'll bet the mounts were broken then-same stereo problem then.
Oh ya-just a footnote.
Was told by Iron Cross that some bikes have an issue with the stereo hitting the riser bolts and HD has a service bulletin about this issue and they have revised bolts with shorter heads available.
