Not so sure Hugo - far too much 'meat' just to hold on some race plastic? A single bolt at the front is ample without the need for that HUUUUOOOOOOOGE mount plate - just fix some return arms back to the original mirror mounts & you'll spread the clamped area without any clutter?

First of all, the fairing is fiberglass so not that light and it does crack with vibrations, so I'm using a good distance between the holes.NWS870R wrote: Not so sure Hugo - far too much 'meat' just to hold on some race plastic?

Second, It's not finished yet, the bracket is only a mock up to figure out the best position for the fairing.
Third , there's no room in the frame for a "mirror bracket" , so I will have to run something from the front.

Absolutely - sometimes a second set of eyes is needed & other opinions can often offer solutions we can't see ourselves, pretty much the reason for having the forum i guess?

As they say ... A kick up the arse sends you further than a pat on the back
Rubber side down, Red side up is my preferred riding style.

Mate there is aTRX parts manual in the Downloads section, if you did not already know.
You may be able to match those numbers up on the front of the screen, however it sure looks like it could be one.
