hi all, would anyone happen to have a spare one of these for sale? had a small off and bent this, gonna try and straighten it, but if its not right i'll have to buy one. also would a mille one fit?

don't try and straighten it mate i did and it cracked both sides at the frame on the a1 could have been nasty.

Rare as hen's teeth these.

They are made from ally so don't try to straighten it without heat or you may well crack it or weaken it so that it cracks later.

Mille one is different.

I do have a Falco one that:

1) I didn't plan to sell
2) Has the top fixings cut back by the previous owner to fit a cut back fairing
3) Someone else was trying to persuade me to sell it to him along with the cut back fairing (I was happy to sell the fairing and eventually was prepared to let the bracket go) ... though not heard back from him for a few weeks ... but he's not been on that forum in that time - deal may be dead - I don't know.

well dont know if i've done right thing or not, heated the bracket then straightened it, fixed radiator and tidied up what i could, had it out for a run, and it ride perfect but just needs a respray, so gonna wait till winter then strip it and get it sprayed up. cheers folks.
