Vetter fairing bracket

[Black 550 L]

I have a bracket off of a 850 will it fit on a 550? Also I don't have the hardware to attach to the motorcycle. What is used to attach it? I searched for mounting instructions and could not find any that were specific to the 550.

Usually attached with U bolts to the down tubes

The upper part of the bracket had 2 U-bolts and 2 metal piece about (1 in" sq curved to match the inside of the frame) to protect the bike frame from being dented by an over tightening of the U-bolt.

The lower part used 2 worm clamps on each tube.
I checked the Vetter web site I didn't see any hardware pictures.

I took a couple of pictures on my 850. you can get an idea of where the bracket mounts relative to the frame.

On my 850, there really is only one spot on the frame where the lower half round sections of the bracket will line up with the down tubes.

I Hope that helps,

In answer to your 1st question..it SHOULD fit. Pacifico fairings used the same bracket for GS 550/750/850/1000/1100. Don't see why it wouldn't be the same for Vetter.
