INSTALLING ALLOY ART'S FAIRING MOUNTING BRACKETS
Born To Ride Florida|September 2020
If Harley’s baggers have a weak link, it’s in the two inner fairing mounting brackets. On 1996 through 2013 Electra Glides, Ultra Glides and Street Glides, Harley used stamped sheetmetal brackets to attach the inner fairings to the bikes’ front forks.

INSTALLING ALLOY ART'S FAIRING MOUNTING BRACKETS

The lower section of each bracket is securely bolted to the outside edges of the top and bottom triple trees and the upper section of each bracket bolts to the inner faring in two places and also to the outside edge of the radio.

The problem develops with the end piece at the topmost part of the bracket, where it bolts to the inner fairing. That end piece is welded to the edges of the actual bracket. This end is about eighteen inches up from the lower bracket to the fairing mounting point. As the bike travels over most roads, the vibration from the front fork moves up through the fairing mounting brackets and the motion makes the bracket act like a whip; this movement can and does eventually break the bracket at the point where the bracket and its end piece are welded together.

SPYKE AND MIKE

Whoa, Nellie! If you missed it, you missed a whole lot of beautiful steel horses in one place. If you were there, you know that no words can totally convey what went down the stretch. I’m squawking about the Great American Motofest that ran at the Boss Hogg ranch.
