"metal brackets that replace the cheap plastic that Honda provided for the headlight bucket"

Pretty sure my headlight brackets are metal

My stock bucket brackets (the triangular silver brackets) sure look like they are made from a natural colour moulded plastic and painted silver. I haven't removed them yet, but one of the first things I did on my bike was touch up the ends where the flashing was ground off in the factory and what looked like raw plastic was exposed.

I checked the OEM exploded parts listing, and the stock brackets are $19 each. I cannot see them being made from die cast metal for that price, but I'm sure someone will be able to verify the exact material and likely prove me wrong.

I could be wrong, but my gut is telling me that die cast non-ferrous metal brackets would not stand up to the vibration they would receive in this application.


Well, mine are obviously off since I have the Dart, and I can assure you that they (at least mine, anyway!) most definitely are metal (sorry for the crappy cell phone picture):

Makes me wonder if Honda used different parts/materials in different parts of the world? I'd be curious to know if yours truly are plastic when you get your Dart! Inquiring minds want to know!
