fairings...pls help

Post by blade400 » Tue Apr 03, 2012 3:23 pm

Hello too all

i really need some help from you guys

ive owned 2 cbr400 nc29 over last 10years, my problem ive had is the the fairings keep cracking due the vibration stress on the fixing points (lugs/tabs) cracking them. i could just put a rubber washer on, or maybe a rubber inlet washer (tophat washer) so the screw doesnt touch the fairing atall when attached....will this do? what do you guys use?

does anybody have any ideas, know where i can purchase the original rubber washers or a decent substitute?

ive bought a whole new fairing kit from skidmarx and dont wana put them on without the right washers

thanks, kind regards

the 3tj has those type of washers in parts, i guess ebay might be worth a trawl for some? but it's got to be better than screw on plastic hasn't it!

I can see your main problem area :grin:

You want some rubber gromments http://www.grommets.co.uk/index.php/products and the metal insert is called a bush - you can get them from ProBolt. Measure the hol diameter, the recess dia and the panel thickness.
If you want to repair the originals use some Plastex

Can someone move this thread back to the *Honda* section please? It's lowering the tone :twisted:
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
