lower fairing

#1 Post by mrapriliafalco » Thu Apr 16, 2015 5:22 pm

Could anyone please explain how this fairing bolts on at the rear end,the holes in the fairing don't line up with anything.The only bolt I can see near one side is a engine mounting bolt,and the other the side stand bolts
Has anyone got any pics as I aint got a clue
Cheers lads

I assume you mean something like the skidmarx one?

If so you should have received two metal brackets that fit to the rear most of the side stand bracket, and iirc on of the case covers on the off side


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yep, there's a bracket for each side - one drops off the bottom of the engine (RHS), the other from the sidestand bracket

Try and loose-fit everything first, as inevitably it won't all line up properly. Because I've got a GSXR sidestand, I had to get busy with the dremel and cut a portion away as the GSXR stand is angled further forward

All-right, all-right .... no need to rub it in ......

Always better to use a paddock stand than rely on the sidestand when fitting these - I know that now ......
