could someone please tell me if ive got my fairing on correct around the clocks as there seems to be a big gap where it joins the black clock surround. or a pic of yours?
i cant remember how it was when i stripped it?
Looks ok to me
Yup, they were never a watertight fit and if you ever find a front sub frame that's absolutely straight, you probably find some rocking horse :Topes nearby.
thanks
mine must have warped a bit then :icon_frown:
The rubber O-ring around the speedo tore on mine. I ran a small bead of silicone under the o-ring to keep the speedo and ring in place. If you are worried about water, that will seal the instruments. Water was never a problem for mine.

it was where the red fairing overlaps the black clock surround that worried me, i thought maybe it clipped into it somehow. wonder why they didnt put a couple of screws in to hold it together?
There are few points where the plastics overlap and do wear rubbing against each other. If you invest in some of the high density adhesive backed neoprene, like a draught excluder, you can apply that at the contact areas and it will stop the wear until the neoprene wears through in a year or two. Warm the tape and the plastic up after cleaning with some spirit and clamp them together for half an hour, then trim off the visible bits and excess. That's one less rattling noise you won't have to :icon_scratch: over.
