Rocking Horse poo.
Top mount you have - uses same bolt.
Radiator is a U shape bracket, easy to bent any old bit of tin to shape.
Buy an R@G crash bung set, that'll sort the main bit. Plus save them when you fall off/ drop it. The banana piece of **** that comes with the fairings normally, would be stronger if it was a banana.
Screw the two together at the bottom - any old nut and bolt M5 I think.
Where you will have problems is sourcing the lower mounts. When I bought my bike they were missing, I rode it like this for about 3 years - no problem. I then got hit by a car and the only good thing out of getting shafted by my insurance company was that the guy actually doing the work felt sorry for me. He said he happened to have a set kicking around, and fitted them FOC. As I said at the start - Rocking Horse poo would be easier to find.
