Author Message   Sooner Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 11:45 pm:        First of all I want to thank all of you for your help the many times before. Here's the scoop. I am replacing the fairing bracket on my s3t. I bought one from a guy who said it was from the same make and year. When I went to put it on the bike, the new one is about three inches shorter on the risers/gauge dash supports. I am stumped, because in the owners manual, it shows the one that I just bought. The only thing I can think of is to weld the old risers to the new bracket. Has this happened to anyone of you before? Also, where do I find the rubber boot that goes around a stock mirror on an s3t? Mine got mangled in the slide that caused the bent old bracket. Thanks for the help   Josh_ Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 11:49 pm:        Hmm the dash was changed from 98 to 99 but I have not heard that the "spider"/mount was changed. the parts manual shows one that looks like the new one? >Also, where do I find the rubber boot that goes around a stock mirror on an s3t? only available with a new one ($45?)   Tramp Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 09:05 am:        ...just do what i always do: post a thread titled: "Dave S...HELP!"   98s3sns Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 09:47 am:        Sooner, replaced mine and was told that the 97 and 98 are different,looked the same but different.Hope that helps.

It would be good to know what part number fits what year S3's for future reference. My fairing mount was mangled when I got my bike but after much tweaking I managed to get it straight again. It took a LOT of trial and error to get it to where the fairing cleared the both the headlight and the handlebars at full lock in both positions.   Sooner Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 10:42 am:        Thanks guys. I'll try the Dave S thing.   Lake_bueller Posted on Thursday, June 23, 2005 - 11:11 am:        Sooner....PM your address. I'll send you a mirror rubber boot thingie.   Twowheeldream Posted on Monday, June 27, 2005 - 01:48 am:        front fairing mount part numbers are 58749-97y 58710-98y   Grndskpr Posted on Tuesday, June 28, 2005 - 07:20 am:        Hmm the dash was changed from 98 to 99 but I have not heard that the "spider"/mount was changed. Yes, the front faring mount was changed, 97 was a one off year, due to only having 2 gauges, 98 and on had a clock, with the early S3 did not If you have a 98 S3, and atempt to install the 97 bracket, everything but the dash lines up, however like you mentioned, its shorter Sorry, but your looking for the later bracket If you need pics, just ask, i can explain a bit more if you like or show you the difference R
