I will consider the brackets but not the factory supports, I need something on the bike that's not black. Incidentally, I did query Puig on the metallurgy of the brackets.
I would still like to stuff the brackets behind the supports like Redbird did (against the headlamp) because it obviously looks nicer, but its so darn tight in there. I'll figure something out even if I have to fashion new brackets.
You should be able to put a washer between the headlight, the bracket, and each of their mounting points to wident the space for the screen bracket to drop inside.
