    Hi
    I need to source two of these lower connectors.
    I did have all four but I have misplaced two from the right hand side.
    Can any one help

    Those two are the only I have ever had on mine as long as your riveted metal pieces are in place on the right hand lower it should be fine the clips hold both sides together

    No comments from you, Toe on the condition of those brackets or the dirt on the inside of the fairing

    If it was me, I'd just make some new ones. They're the same as the left side ones, just flipped around. go down to the local hardware store and pick up some galvanized flat stock. If the sheet selection is too thin, there are probably some brackets in the roofing section you could cut chunks out of. Using the ones you have, trace out a template accounting for the bent over tab as if it were unfolded. Cut off wheel, a vise, pliers, dead blow, drill. Should be ready to go in no time.

    You can tie the 2 sides together using zipties or twisted wire.

    Wait what the @#$% is this?! There is meant to be brackets that hold the lowers together? Lol mine is just bolted together............. I don't see any place that looks like it had brackets in the past
