The brackets in question are not visible when the seat is mounted on the bike. They basically mount the cowl to the seat (2 bolts + 1 thumbscrew each).

Here's a picture of the brackets. You can't see them when they're mounted on the bike.
You can order them from Monsterparts.com (where this picture is from)

I would also be weary of buying carbon fiber parts from an unknown vendor. Haven't heard of the one from the eBay link. The quality and fitment might not be up to par. Just a thought.

There is another way, DP made a conversion seat tail with a carbon back end that did away with the passenger section. It was in the neighborhood of $800 or so dollars IIRC...you might be able to find one used.

Too bad none of us ever got of our asses and made those heavy ass brackets out of ... carbon. There's no need for steel.

Anything can be done with enough time and carbon.

I wonder if anyone knows anybody with too much time and carbon.... ;)
