Front upper fairing bracket

Post by scouse645 »

The bracket is bent after falling over last year, is it possible to get it straight again? the only ones i can see online are from the usa.

they do come up on ebay uk from time to time, expect to pay between £30 and £50 for one, but they're getting slightly harder to find because they're made from swiss cheese.... :roll:
you can always place an advert in the wanted section :thumbup:

how bad is it
I could give you measurements off a undamaged bracket to help straighten your old one
I all so have one that has the left side wiped out but ok on the right

they come up from time to time on the bay you just have to wait
told you not to but oh no you knew better

Thanks for replies, i was answering hours ago but my internet went off, if i could give the correct measurements could someone who works with metal straighten it?

They can be made straight again .
Yours is out by a bit but a good amount of heat and a long bar should bring it back close

Or just buy my one.....

PM'd

OOps.
Just gone to the stock shed and I can't find it.
I may have sold it or let it go with the fairing- I can't remember.
I'll head up in the daylight at the weekend to see if I can find it.
if I can, I only have the one, and it's straight.

I'll let you have the first dibbles, officer.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Just to confirm, no, I don't have one- I think I included it with some fairings I sold recently....
