Default Reinforced Fairing Brackets

Someone posted about their inner fairing bracket mount points cracking due to the beefing up their stock fairing brackets.

Has anyone who has reinforced their vertical brackets either with L brackets or the kits for sale on the net found any cracking issues with their inner fairing?

I have also but after reading the other post, I started wondering if maybe the brackets were made to break before the fairing...I guess time will tell...
