#127165 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Hey you guys with fairings that mount to your factory windshield brackets, over the weekend I developed a chirp in the front end during a certain RPM and I hate noises , so tonight I got checking all the bolts on the fairing and brackets and I found that one of the two bolts under the headlight that mounts the windshield brackets and the running lights bar had snapped. So I pulled it all apart and replaced them both, now all is good. I figured I would give you guys a heads up on this. P.S. The head of it was still there and it looked fine so be sure to put a wrench on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/10/06 19:46 By billjr.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #127167 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3028 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Well ya gotta love it as much pain as it has given you it like an ex-wife now. I think they will look great to match the bike. Maybe they will hold togeather better now with all the work done on them. Sure hope so.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #127177 javawave (User) Over 16776 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3101 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Thats a great tip.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Well you got to figure that the fairing is probably about 15 lbs heavier than a the factory windshield, so its a little over loaded!!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #127294 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4319 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Probably be a good idea to go to a higher grade bolt..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #127465 billjr (User) RIDE LIKE YOUR INVISABLE!!!!!!!!!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   The bolts that were in it were stainless and I put nickle plaited steel with a lock washer back in!!!! Ill see how that works.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #127467 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2746 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   billjr wrote: Well you got to figure that the fairing is probably about 15 lbs heavier than a the factory windshield, so its a little over loaded!!!!!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1118 Re:ATTN BOYS WITH FAIRINGS!!!! 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   If I remember right the shipping weight on the fairing and stereo components was 25lbs, and Im guessing a stock windshield is around 10lbs????????   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
