    Hi Guys

    I have a black (not that it matters) 2008 Fireblade - and I have managed to break/snap and lose the tabs to allow the Lower Cowl to fit with the Under Cowl !!!!!

    What I want if possible - if one of you guys has your fairing off for any reason ? could you take some very close and detailed pictures of the two clips/gomets/tabs and email them to me - so I can reconstruct them ????

    cheers

    I have some hanging up in the shed,,i have also put some self tapping screws to secure the bottoms to the lower cowl because they came unclipped once and snapped a side fairing

    Could you send me pictures of the tabs on the fairing panels you have and also some pics of your fix (was thinking along these lines)

    Thanks

    Thats great thanks

    I was thinking of putting one of the black expanding fairing bolts (as used on the inner faring) but going in from the side not the front as in yours ???

    what do you think ?

    Any screw in the bottom will stop the bottom coming unclipped, mine did and flapped unnoticed.
