    So, I was about to put this aftermarket fairing back on, and one of the damn brackets came loose and fell off!!!

    the highlighted piece is the piece that is missing off the opposite side.

    thats a picture of the fairing on the bike if that helps.

    Does anyone have any idea what kind of fairing this is... I need this bracket, and I dont think i can make it myself. I can make the spacer, but not the part where the fairing screws into. Thanks everyone!

    you should be able to make one yourself, just drill a hole for the fairing to bolt to and use a nut in the back.
    it looks like you have room to reach in there to use a nut.

    if you can find an allen head bolt in 1/4-20 I can send you a rivnut to put on it, I just dont have any in metric.
    that is the fixed part the fairing nut goes into.

    ya, I think you're going to have to fabricate something on your own.
