maybe i they designed a new one cause i was just looking at their site and on the gsxr it looks like it comepletly goes up around the fairing and across the top of the windscreen. check it out and see if its same one you talking about.

Re: 636 Upper Support/Strengthening
The side plates on mine are too thin and every drop it shifts to the side, breaking the upper and the headlight...........When I first go it it didnt fit the frame then when I made it fit it didnt line up with the headlight mounting bolts or the guage bracket..........Actually just tightening the guage bracket to it snapped the guage bracket......I had to do alot of work just to mount it, both to the 905 part and OEM guage bracket.
It was stronger than stock and I did use it the whole season but it could be way better and should have been for $250
