Title: GTR - Running out of Ground Clearance - Offside Lower Fairing Needed.
Post by: SirToU on November 17, 2012, 01:17:12 PM
Greetings All.

I think I've run out of ground clearance on the GTR - its either that or something big hit me.

But I didn't feel a thing.  :-)

If anyone knows of an offside lower fairing for a 2010, 11 or 12 GTR that is going, can you let me know please.

Thanks

Neil

that requires a download, which i now wont do from any forum. Got a virus from such a download last year which defeated my firewall and ended up with a costly repair

Hi Neil, Guess you have finished the ploughing for this year.  :mfr_lol:
I can highly recommend "All Year Biker" in Southampton as frequented by Debs and me.  :banana:

Its only that dirty because it was mid week and the photo was taken at work.

Since you didn't hit anything and looking at the scratch on the fairing further in front looks more like a hit-and-run to me.  :death:
Lucky he didn't push the bike over.
Looks like it's going to be an expensive repair.  :sweatdrop:

Fortunately, It can't be a hit and Run.  Locked garage at work, and locked garage at home.

Quoted £93+Vat and I'll fit it myself.

That's really bad luck.
What was your 90 quid quote for? A new panel ? Sounds damn cheap considering what |I'm paying for a mud guard

I don't suppose you still have the missing piece Neil ?

The panel is basically self coloured abs plastic - no paint - thats why its so cheap.

I didn't look inside but looking at the shear points in the plastic, it didn't get pushed in - more like ripped off. So unfortunately no.

I've been looking on ebay, and I've found one for £25.  But its the other side :-(. So I might just have to bite the bullet.  :-(

Maybe if you gave it a wash, we could see the damage a bit more clearly.  :mfr_lol:

How the hell did that happen??

Somebody has hit that with something.
Either you leaned over in a corner and it clipped a kerb (I would assume you would feel that), or something got thrown at it whilst stationary or moving, or else someone has swiped it with a car whilst it was parked on the sidestand.
