I have a set of Jardine RT-one high mounts on the bike now and on the way into work today my right side bracket broke in half. I called Jardine and they do not have the right side available and they have no plans for making any anytime soon. So if someone has a set or just the right side available or any decent alternative that I can buy please let me know.

Thanks

Can it be welded? They're made out of aluminum. I know some are polished and some are chrome plated, but you could just grind the weld down and wet sand and polish it no? That sucks last time I had checked a little while back they were still available, but they weren't cheap.

I just got a set from them in stainless a couple weeks ago. Place your order they might make them faster than you think.

As a temporary workaround I pop riveted a small piece of metal to mine when it cracked. Its still holding. Beats parking the bike for a couple weeks while you wait for parts. :cool

Thanks guys for the tips. Mine is polished aluminum and unfortunately we don't have an aluminum welder at work. I was able to fab up a couple thin pieces of stainless to the full outline like a back plate to hold them together to get home on and it worked fine. It felt more solid than original! I will try the rivets tomorrow with a small piece of stainless by the break to make it more solid. I will call them back and put in an order for the stainless and see if they can make them for me. Thanks again for the help.

What did you find out from Jardine?

Update: I called them back and placed an order for the right side hanger. 78 bucks!!! And they said I may have to wait a while. I did complete my stainless temp one and its good to go till I get the replacement.
Since they are hard to het now and expensive I am going to work with my machine shop guys to design and make my own brackets as back up or replacements. I will keep you all posted with details once I start.
Thank you again for everyone's help.

I'd be interested in some hi mount hangers for my Hindle's. I'd rather br in the $50 price range.
