I checked mine a few months ago when I put bars on and they were fine, but the design didn't look any different than pictures I've seen of the ones that broke.

Took my fairing off today as well and found the right side braces broke. Have no idea how long they've been that way. Searched the forum and found that it is a common problem. Most fix with a $2 "L" bracket from hardware store and that is exactly what I am doing.

So apparently the 09's didn't have the new style. Mine was replaced also.
