Title: WTB: mounting hardware '93 front cowling
Post by: demonsavatar on August 19, 2013, 05:37:14 PM
I met a great dude who gave me a front cowling for free, but it doesn't have all the mounting hardware I need!  Anyone know/have what I need to mount this on my '93?

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesnt that bolt directly to your headlight mounts? :dunno_black:

The upper holes line up with the headlight bolts, but I need the clips/brace for the lower holes.

I am pretty sure you dont need to use the bottom holes as the stock indicators fit into the gaps which stop the cowl from moving about?
Anyone else want to chime in?
adidasguy perhaps?

Found a similar pic and it looks like a simple bracket you could fabricate?

Ah thanks! The guy I got the cowling from was able to find the brackets thanks to the pics you sent.  I'll have to find some screws/washers that fit, but no biggie.
