i have taken off the outer front fairing and have found that the vertical bracket is broken on the right side was wondering if there is any after market companies out there that make brackets for 2006 flhxi

 

I believe there is a updated part from Harley do a search and you will find more that you ever wanted to know about faring brackets. You will also find that the short brackets that attach to the speakers are common problem also.

 

Easy fix for the fairing bracket. Get some 90 deg brackets at your hardware store of choice, and bolt them on. My right one broke, and it is very common on pre 09 bikes.

is there any secrets to getting the old bracket out without going trough all the steps that the manual says it is for 2006 flhxi thanks for the help.

 

I just bought a kit on ebay that includes all the screws, brackets and drill bit to repair the vertical bracket as well as the bracket near the speakers. Took me 25 minuts and it's solid. Only cost me like $30. I could have gone to the hardware store and made up a kit, I'm usually the guy that would do that, but in this case, this was just easier...

I just repaired mine yesterday using a 90 deg. bracket from Lowes. Total cost $1.95 since I already had some nuts and bolts to use. It took about 20 minutes after I got the fairing off.

 

fixed my broken brackets with scrap steel in my garage. A couple bolts, some drilling and cutting. over 40K miles now, and still strong

 

Here's how you fix them.
