    Yea, I know they're head light brackets. I have the brackets that are hooked up to the fairing itself. I am just missing 17 and 10 and can't find them for sale which is why I was wondering if that headlight bracket might work

    The should work, but will need to be modified in order to hold the fairing in the correct place.
    Before you go to the trouble though, it's worth knowing that the 550 fairing adversely affects handling at highway speeds. Just something to think about.

    I have no personal experience, but reports from riders and writers that I trust include headshake and a distinct occasional "twitchiness" in windy conditions. You may have none of those problems though as other people I've heard from don't notice any issues.
