What do you call that piece of metal that looks like it attaches to the cowl on either side of the windscreen and the front part of the tank? Is it some kind of stabilizer?

It's called "Why spend $30 on a camera mount when I can spend a bunch of hours fabricating a complicated mounting system that bolts across my bars and looks like crap?"

Just kidding. It looks like it would pass tech for a trackday as long as it is solidly mounted.

Re: What is this thing called?

Thanks for the "fairing stay" info. I'm just wondering if one is made for my bike because I think I broke a mount for a screw that holds a small piece of plastic on the underside of the front cowl...right where it looks like the fairing stay on that bike is mounted.

I saw something online here:
58cycle Parts & Accessories Webstore

but it looks like OEM and goes inside the plastics...I was wondering if they made one for the )$ YZF600R like the did for the 97 model.

Re: What is this thing called?

Pretty sure the 97-07 YZF600 all have internal fairing braces which run up the inside of the cowl (as opposed to an external fairing stay which attaches from frame, arches up over triples and attaches to the top corners of the front cowl). Pre-97 YZF600 featured the external style.

I assume you're trying to figure out what mount you broke and what you need to replace/fix it? Here's the parts fiche...

Looks like an O SHIT BAR


Grab here and hold on. It's going to be a rough one.
