"Abandoned in North London"-The Rebuild Thread

Well it should be fairly rigid being box section, what is it`s wall thickness, around 2mm?

[scarfacehugo]

1mm. I'm a weight watcher...

Not so sure Hugo - far too much 'meat' just to hold on some race plastic? A single bolt at the front is ample without the need for that HUUUUOOOOOOOGE mount plate - just fix some return arms back to the original mirror mounts & you'll spread the clamped area without any clutter?

First of all, the fairing is fiberglass so not that light and it does crack with vibrations, so I'm using a good distance between the holes.
Second, It's not finished yet, the bracket is only a mock up to figure out the best position for the fairing.
Third , there's no room in the frame for a "mirror bracket" , so I will have to run something from the front.

Dont get me wrong!

I do apreciate criticism better than favourable opinions. It's critics that make us see further ahead, in'it?

Cheers!

Absolutely - sometimes a second set of eyes is needed & other opinions can often offer solutions we can't see ourselves, pretty much the reason for having the forum i guess?

As they say ... A kick up the arse sends you further than a pat on the back

[scarfacehugo]

You gotta love a proper English saying... There's one for every occasion

Update!

Mr Codger kindly sent me, free of charge, a windscreen.



The reason why I say "a windscreen" is because I dont know what bike it's off. I thought it would be a FZR40RR but it doenst fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

I cant get in touch with him, can someone tell me if this is a TRX screen?

[ekoja]

Mate there is aTRX parts manual in the Downloads section, if you did not already know.
You may be able to match those numbers up on the front of the screen, however it sure looks like it could be one.

The numbers are a bike identification system/company called DATATAG,not a Yamaha part number but thanks anyway.
