I bought an 06 XB9SX that went down on the left side and broke the passenger peg mounts off.

E-bay has some, but I thought I'd check the Badwb community before I buy.

Is anyone holding one of these in their parts stash?

Never mind, I opted to try cleaning and reshaping the one that was damaged.
I used the two part Locktite steel epoxy, scrubbed the rail wth soap and water, brushed it with a wire brush to ensure the metal was clean, then prepped the epoxy.
I kept it moving until it started to harden so it had enough body to shape, then molded it using the existing lines as guides.
Once cured I shaped with a file, found it needed a bit more and did it all again.
The finished product has exact matched lines and curves since there was enough original material to allow me to follow the flow of the casting.

It’s going to look awesome wen I get the paint on there
