Hi sam thanks for the post mate massive help .I did 90% of what was in the post but had to leave the fairing attached as I saw the two pipes but wasn't sure about disconnecting them etc I've now saved the link for future reference thanks again tony

 

is the 2006 model as much of a bastard job as this thread says the 08 is? can't say I'm looking forward to having a go...

 

Just take your time try not to force any thing have fun mate

 

not difficult at all, 20mins job done, piece o piss, or mibbie i was just lucky

 

Took me a while as I didn't want to break any thing now I know how to do it hopefully won't be as long

 

O

OK, not too scared now, one of those jobs that's a 'mare the first time, then easy peasy when you know how

 

I found the fairings on my 1000rr a pain in the neck to get on and off had a bit of bother with some
Of the bolts just spinning and not coming out and had to try hold the inside playing bits that come
Off the frame. I find my 750 gsxr fairing a mile easier to get on and off.

 

Bob, with you there, I'm an ex-Gixxer man meself so i know what you mean
