wind screen mounting brackets

Hi all, new to the forum and hope this isn't a repeat threat. Anyone know if its possible to purchase just the mounting brackets for the wind screen? I was planning with going with something aftermarket, that isn't just mesh.
So far i'm not really loving the idea of buying a whole OEM kit just for the brackets

As far as the inserts go, most of what I've seen online is plexiglass i believe. There are some pretty cool options, etched, smoked, etc. I'll stop by the dealer tonight and see if they can sell mounting brackets separately from the kit.

I was planning on a plexiglass windscreen like I had on my Z3 and could not find the brackets. I wa able to buy the whole mesh kit on eBay at a big discount. Then I found that the mesh screen worked great and just used it.
