  • trying to fix the fairing weak spot

    When I bought my bike the tops of both fairings above the mirrors were cracked. One side was even missing a piece of plastic. I tried to tell myself that its fine however as the fairing were off: I couldn't resist. So on both sides I backed it with a layer of fiberglass, and then used a bit of filler to make up for the missing plastic. Hopefully when the paint arrives it will look decent. Suzuki really needed to add some extra plastic to that area.

      not a chance, I'm not a fan of the street fighter look. Kats look really ugly without the fairings and only a a little ugly with the fairings LOL

        ABS cement makes a good filler. it's flexible.

            thats usually caused from using the wrong fasteners (too long)

              The damage was done before I bought it. Just to confirm, the front 6 fasteners are the same right.
