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
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
