Another way to fix broken fairing brackets
After two go rounds with repairing and replacing brackets I wanted to do something that would truely be a permenant fix. I made this fairing support bracket from a piece of 3/4 aluminium angle. It spans all the way across the fairing from mirror mounts to top speaker screw to main vertical mounts, it ties everything together nice and firm. This was a very slow project with a lot of trial and error, and hand fitting and adjusting every bend. In conjunction with the factory failure prone brackets, its hell for stout, you could probably lift the front end by it. I didn't have a welder but it still came out pretty nice with the trusty rivet method. could have made it lighter and neater with a welder. Anyway, I think I'm done repairing fairing brackets. I highly recommend building yourself one of these. Good winter project.

Top marks to you for your fabrication skills.
Since repairing a broken fairing (black) bracket with an inexpensive L bracket at the top many miles ago, I haven't had a black/vertical bracket or speaker/horizontal bracket break.
Again, really nice fabrication; thanks for sharing.
Wonder if anyone will ask you to make one for them.
