Dave & Herman,
Rob sanded and cleaned the area where the top left mount had pulled free leaving two 1/8" holes.
He used the JB weld and set the bracket with a C-clamp overnight. It cured for about 12 hours.
We chose to not bolt up the mount in order to reduce stress and added a tie strap to hold the left side in place to protect against any fan contact.
The "fix" has lasted over 1200 miles so far.
Regardless, I have today ordered a replacement radiator.
Perhaps I shall seek out some brazing repair of the OEM and have a spare . . .

1olbull, lucky you where not going faster you both could have really got hurt.
glad your ok and not much to fix your bike back up.
I was at the air port to pick my daughter up and being so excited to see her I for got my brand new truck was in reverse and I rolled into the guy behind me just a little scratch in my bumper, Toyota wants $500.00 plus tax to fix it. No more blending paint in they need to take the bumper off and paint the complete bumper, where did all the talent go.
we all do stupid things.
