Front fairing seems loose.
When I was riding home today I noticed my front fairing was shaking a bit up down. I went home tightened every bolt I could find and noticed this part under the bars looks broken. It appears to be a bracket of some kind but it doesn't look too important.

Don't worry it's 'just' the fairing stay
It certainly explains your fairing movement. Is the rest of it still there? If so it might be weldable. I'll be back if I find a pic of the whole thing to give you some idea of the whole assembly ps I was kidding about the "just" this is serious!

I see. How does this happen? I know my bike was dropped a few times before I bought it but I haven't had any bad crashes that would do something like this.

The pregen has a few design weaknesses, that is one, the fuel cap lock seizing is another and weak locating "ears" on the rockers is a third. The upper fairing mount screws that nearly pierce the fuel tank, fourth. The intake rubbers between the carbs and airbox are not exactly a "Best of Bauhaus" design either |
