Yep. But where do they attach? A pic would be helpful.

These are Prolink only pieces. The short elbow brackets: one end mounts to the fairing tubing and the other attaches to a rubber bushing on the fairing pocket surround. The longer brackets: one end attaches to the same tubing mount as the short bracket and the other connects to the bottom of the u-shaped mirror cross-brace on either side of the headlight. You will need two short bolts and one long bolt for each side. The longer bolts that pass through the pocket surround need nuts. The other connections are threaded into welded nuts on the backside.

I am pretty sure you would need remove the fairing to attach these brackets, or a trained monkey with tiny hands.

The brackets do stiffen up the fairing structure considerably.

Oops. Apparently my memory is slightly faulty. I should have looked at the parts diagram first. The longer brackets do not attach to the mirror cross-brace. Instead they attach to the lower part of the headlight surround tubing (the inverted 'U' shown near '26' on the diagram). The mounting points for the shorter elbow brackets are not shown, however, they connect to the fairing pocket surround just ahead of the fork tubes.

I could send a photo if I knew how to do it.
