Top fairing bracket
Hoping someone can point mein right direction, its a 3tj1 model. Bracket for mirror mounts rather than the clock mounts is what im after.
The last owner butchered bracket beyond repair. Do all models take the same bracket?
Would any of the crowds that do race fairings supply the bracket, and would they have mountings for the mirrors??
Any help appreciated

Re: Top fairing bracket
Looking at the parts fiche (its in the documents section of the home page)
http://www.400greybike.com/files/FZRRRSP.pdf
The mirror brace/stay appears to be the same for all models; 3TJ-2831W-00
It also appears to be exceedingly rare ; not surprising as it will be the first part damaged in an accident.
No searches on the web appear to reveal any relevant info or sources.
Previous comments on this forum advise replacement with a new part rather than repair when the topic has been
broached in the past, so it must have been available at one point.
Armed with your frame number and the part number, a call to a Yamaha dealer may yield results; they have access
to stocks held worldwide.
A used or new old stock part may surface in time on the usual auction sites.
It is always worth asking a seller if the part is available when a "breaking bike" style ad. has been placed.
A good fabricator could make a replacement using sections from the original if it has not been discarded.
Race glass or aftermarket fairing manufacturers will not have the bracket; they specialise in plastic/fibreglass
products and expect the buyer to fit the product using the original makers brackets.( usually with quite a bit of
fettling/finishing)
The mounting of mirrors is not difficult providing the stay is in place.
Without the stay the extra weight/vibration and flexing will undoubtedly damage any fairing when mirrors are added.
Keep up with your searching; you may get a result from your ad. in the wanted section.
Well done on trying to get the bike back somewhere near to its original condition.

Re: Top fairing bracket
Willandrip your a gent, thanks for the lengthy reply. Its what I kinda knew, there like hens teeth! I searched for a full yr in 2012 when I had it on the road to no avail.
I have a modded fzr600 bracket on it at the mo, but it pushes the fairings out of line and just doesn't look right.
I'm determined to get the bike finished proper this time.
Thanks for the advise, looking for bikes being broken might be the key, cause yamaha dealers over here are awful to deal with!
The search goes on, I've plenty of work to do in the mean time, just ordered hel brake lines

I get called that on another forum too; but I think it has a alternative meaning !Rustynuts wrote:Willandrip your a gent.

Re: Top fairing bracket
Yeah, hard to find. When you do they're usually bent.
The 3TJ is different to the others because the tank bolts to it.
