    R6 Fairing stay

    So after coming off nelso's oil spill on the weekend, my fairing stay broke into half and a clean snap..

    wondering if it was better to get it welded back up or buy a new one.. even the aftermarket ones are exxy.

    Good Q. I've always replaced them with aftermarket ones, but I've also got a snapped one that I'd rather fix at this point. I tried a bodgy fix, but it didn't hold. They are a light alloy; can they be welded, or is there a better way to fix them??

    After the original oem on snapped, I bought a Motobracket one from STG but it still gonna cost me $135 delivered. I can get them welded by Baxter's for 30 bucks..

    There are also stays from china for 55 delivered but just worried about fitment issues for the ram air.

    They fit sorta, but not perfect, and certainly not as good as OEM.

    I went the same route for the Gixxer and it fit perfect (lucky I guess)

    As with everything from China, some moulds are better than others....!
