chin fairing bracket solutions?

[monkyc]

Hey all,

I had to replace my chin fairing bracket, i bought one from hd and it didnt come with new inserts for attaching the front fairing/wind screen. I couldnt remove mine from the old one without modifying(cutting) them out and they wont go into the new piece properly. Would anybody have a possible solution or has anyone else ran into this problem?
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Are you talking about the chin bracket or windscreen?

Nutserts ..... They are kinda like rivets.... Slide them In the hole and use a long bolt with a nut to draw it tight and wala. The buell has these all over it if you look..... especially in the frame.....

I built rock sliders for my jeep and attached them to the body with this..... 1/4-20 I forget how many per side and it held up beautifully........ Here's proof.....

Im talking about the 2 bolts that hold the " front cowling faring" on to the front fairing support bracket.
sorry if my terminology was wrong, no need to bust my balls over it. thanks

Still not 100% sure what exactly you're talking about. Pictures FTW.
If you are talking about the chin faring, it bolts on with 1/4" 20's.
If you are talking about the two pieces that make up the chin fairing, then go with what Greasy said and use nutserts.
When you say "front fairing/windscreen" everyone will automatically assume you are talking about, well, the front fairing because its a Firebolt, or, the windscreen.
