Title: Fairing fixings.
Post by: GTRpilot on April 07, 2016, 03:00:40 PM
Whilst replacing the top right fairing after doing my lights I dislodged the centre screw well/grommet where the fairing fastener screws into.  :oops:
Obviously it tumbled down into the depth's of the bike, never to be seen again  :whistling:
To be truthful the plastic surround that holds it had cracked, also one on the left has cracked as well, but I have superglued these back, not particularly robust.
Had a quick look on flea bay but can't see any that match, Kawasaki stealer I suppose  :popcorn:

Nooo!

Google for 'wellnuts', they come in various thread diameters and body lengths.

Cracked, who'd have thunk it?  Having a conversation with O.C. about the very thing.  I'm going to use that stuff in a pen, that's liquid plastic.   You then shine a UV beam on it and it hardens up..   Hmmm, wonder if that works on anything else?  Anyway, do a search on UV glue and you'll find it everywhere.
