Are the 4 Brackets that hold the fairings on the same?

I bought a set of brackets for my new fairings, but due to a possible bad dealer, I may be out of my money and brackets.

I have 1 original bracket still, can I make 3 copies of it to bolt down my fairings or are they all different?

I can ride because of this and I need to get out of my gas guzzling Dakota..lol

No they aren't the same. The two rear brackets are shaped similar to a straitened 'Z' and come straight away from the frame 2-3". I'm guessing these could be swapped left/right.The front brackets are nothing like the rear ones. They are longer about 4" and come away from the frame at an upward 45-degree angle. I'd imagine you could swap these left/right because they are similar however the left one has some machining to hold the coil mount.Just looked at the prices on these. Damn they are expensive!

I actually have the one for the coil mount. Im hoping I can fabricate the others if the ones I bought dont show up soon.


Anyone have a pic of the lower bracket installed?

Well... someone here should be able to give you the measurements to fabricate them...

I would offer my services but I haven't got the opportunity for a week or more to get to the bike and measure... plus it would be in metric... which you wierd people have problems with...

Well if metric is so cool, how come you need an 11/64" drill bit to thread a 5mm hole? HA!
