    You talking about the grab bar right? Thats a salvage yard , EBAY item. Its up to you weather you keep it or not, some like them some don't. Either way you do need to completly remove your broken piece and proberly tighten the shock bolts before you ride again.

    To clarify a tad: the piece that's broken, while strong, is primarily a "trim" item and not part of the shock's mounting to the frame. It USES that point as well, but with the broken grab rail parts gone, the shocks will still be solidly mounted to the frame (once you tighten up the nuts again.)
