I know there's canyon cages  etc....

Got an 09 and I'm leaning (get it  :grin:) towards a set of R&G bobbins, which need the fairing panel cutting...

Anyone gone along that route?

:popcorn:

Not on the GTR, but I did on my Blackbird.

Just takes bottle to cut through the plastics!

Use a circular pipe drill!

I fitted RG crash bungs to my  07 GTR , no fairing chopping required  :wink:

BE KIND...

Yeah I've cut the middle fairing section - admittedly on the R1 but took half the weekend to determine the centre of the hole on the "inside" of the panel. I removed the engine mounting bolt and screwed in 6" of m12 threaded rod. I smeared the rod end with marmite (read on) Replaced panel and then unscrewed the rod till the rod end touched the panels inside face and nicely left a marmite circle. I then centre punched the fairing and used a stepped tank cutter to make the holes.
Last job was to lick clean the rod and cutting tool.

What a pullaver!

Thanks for the replies chaps.. I think the no cut one's would be a lot less hassle if they're still obtainable.  :yes:

Edit..  Just looked on the R&G site and the no drill ones are not there..  :sad:

Excellent idea for a fix there Tommy, I guess people are either going to love it, or hate it...
