Alloy Art fairing brackets

[HighLiner]

Has anybody installed these?  I did this winter and now the inner vibrates worse that before.  The instructions are non existent from Alloy Art.  I pulled the outer and checked all the fasteners.  Looking for ideas!

Did this start immediately after install? Is it possible something else is loose, radio or other? What year bike? Some years had a clearance issue with the radio hitting some mounting bolts, for the handlebar I think.

The fairing brackets that were stock and prone to breakage several years ago have been revised and now hold up much better.  I'd use the revised OE brackets before using the Alloy Arts piece.  I've put in three sets.  None for quite some time though.  Granted they (to my knowledge) never broke again.  But they are bulky, a pain in the arse to get installed (compared to the stock parts), and everyone I installed did have noticeably more vibration.

The bike is a 2009 and has the updated handlebar clamp bolts.

So when (what year) were the OEM brackets revised?

Don't know exactly when they were modified (somebody will), but I've broken several of the original versions and none of the modified versions.  I think the last bike of mine that took of a broken original design was a 2008 Ultra.

  I've had the Alloy Art fairing brackets in for many, many years now. I'm a lot happier with them over the original brackets that broke three times on me. As stated...the MoCo did finally recognize they had a problem with the stamped pot metal brackets and they came out with a beefier replacements. I haven't seen the replacements brackets break...but I have seen them become loose and cause a vibration. A vibrating Harley is the nature of the beast.
  You do have to make sure you have the Alloy Art brackets mounted on tight. If they are not tight...you will get an excessive vibration. My fairing vibrated a little too excessive for me after I first installed them...so I went back in and put a good torque down on them and every thing was much better after that. My fairing still does vibrate a little...but I think it's because of the non stock engine I run. To this day the Alloy Art brackets are still in there and they haven't broke like the factory ones did on me.

   I change enough of them over the years, never seen stamped pot metals, but the new reinforce ones work very well. I try a couple sets of the Alloy Art ones, but I have say I still use the new Harley one as they hold up well and easier to install.
