Streetglide: broker bracket fairings
So...I'm tearing down the tins to send for paint. I've heard about the tinny little bracket in the fairing that connects at the speakers breaking. What I didn't expect to find is one of the main brackets being cracked of at the screw too! :bad mood:
At least they're nice enough to stamp the part number on it for reordering. Any one else see this before?

Yep.
I fabbed up my own replacement/reinforcement tabs last year. Didn't take but a couple of hours, start to finish....... No more 'angry mice' under the fairing anymore.

Real common, the replacement parts have been beefed up by Harley. The folded tab for the screw has a gusset across to keep it from flexing and breaking. The side brackets have also been redesigned also.

Common occurance.
Went through 3 sets of speaker brackets and 2 sets of main verticles. They usually split at the top, but HD has beefed up the top with a second tab bent over and welded together. I had the last one split on the main vertical opposite the angled piece to mount the stereo attaches.

Is there a preventive measure that can be performed?

You've got the improved bracket from the MOCO already.
But I used this, makes more sense to do this than take the whole fairing apart. Took me around 45 minutes. http://www.bagger-parts.com/Harley_F...epair_Kit.html |
