I want to fit some r&g bungs to my rr6 and I know that means drilling the fairing panels to get to the mounting point, but can anyone tell me if the kit comes with a template or how do I work out exactly where to drill, I'm hoping its not something like chalking the mounting point and seeing where the fairing touches it on the inside.
There's a number of ways, when I did my RR 5 I used an Allen key the same diameter as the hole in the engine mounting bolt, passed it through with a dab of white paint, worked very well for me.
You don't get a template. I unscrewed the engine bolts one at a time, marked them with a dab of paint, refitted the fairing and pushed against the bolt to mark the inside of the fairing. That way you can drill a pilot hole from the inside and check it lines up with the bolt ok before using the big drill. Alternatively you can use a sanding wheel on a Dremel to widen the hole, applying extra pressure in one direction if the hole is off centre.
The latest kits include a pointed head bolt thingy that goes into the main frame engine bolt which then presses against the inside of the fairing and leaves a marked point visible on the outside of the fairing. You don't need to remove the fairing, just loosen it. Then CAREFULLY drill a pilot hole from outside to in, once you have a pilot hole then you use a Cone cutter to enlarge the hole to the required size, simpleesssss! What's to fuck up bar slipping with the Pilot drilling?
i have hands of a wrecking ball not for delicate work..... i think it fear of cocking up my fairing or more to the point i'd have to admit it on here
How about some spam to relieve the tension then http://1000rr.co.uk/parts-accessories-clothing/11511.htm
