Hi Freddy. So, on the way home from work, I hit a 2" bump (courtesy of CalTrans) in the road and it snapped off the part of the bracket that rides the rail. So I am not sure exactly what it looked like before it broke off. Is this assembly fitted with perhaps a teflon slider along the top and bottom of the rail? It kind of looks like it in your pictures. So my situation is a bit different than the fix shown in your images. But I think I can fix it. I will not pay Kawasaki to buy a whole new assembly at $700+. I will drill a hole in the other remaining part of my bracket and bolt a chunk of steel in place of the part that broke off. I will raid tap Plastics for some Teflon to fashion into a bumper for it to slide on. And with this fix, I may well mill out the rail and drill another hole in my new steel piece to put the bolt for it to ride on. Another question for you. Does you bolt ride on the steel rail?Use a 3mm disc in angle grinder then a file to allow a 3/16" bolt to slide freely. I drilled and tapped into that rib.

I was figuring Teflon as it will slide and last longer than plastic. But I may not get the strength from Teflon that plastic would offer. We will see what I can fashion.It's a plastic glide I think, not teflon. The bolt goes thru the steel slide guide
