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:

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:
Get the marmite out then ! :mfr_lol:

That's what I have as well...haven't needed them, though.

That's on my list to try...
Excellent idea for a fix there Tommy, I guess people are either going to love it, or hate it...
See... generous as ever ! I knew if I didnt put the gag in - someone else would !
