Three mounts, left, right and bottom. Same parts on the GPz550D1 H1 H2 z550F. except the fork yoke top mount plates, on the 81 The plates are flat and straight, on the H they are L shaped. These are difficult to find now.

I've sold several used fairing mounts for £15-20 each on ebay, they sell fast and are difficult to find.
Got me thinking maybe making a batch of them, but looking closer the left and right pressings are complex and not an easy part to copy.

There has been chat about trying to reproduce the brackets (all the brackets) for the 550 series and the 750/1000/1100 series for a number of years now. Every time a member who has access to a machine shop takes a look at the complexity of the brackets, the plan gets shelved.
It is of note that the windscreen and fairing (of the 750/1000/1100 series) are readily available as reproductions yet the brackets and windscreen gasket remain the rarest of the entire ensemble.

Front end fairing stuff gets smashed up or removed an lost hence it is amongst the rarest parts to find.
The last 1100 mount I sold i actually wrote on ebay listing 'sorry to charge silly money on this but these are so hard to find now...' also at about £20 it sold quickly.
