Where to get Good Replacement Fairings
airwalk replied to TheMuffinMan's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
Make a paste from acetone & abs bits/sawdust, it’ll fill the scratches. Build up a bit, sand down to finish. Amazing how well you can fix/rebuild by using this stuff, will work as thin glue or thicker filler. You might even colour match a little by choosing raw plastic from pieces of “Lego”, or anything that’s abs -
Hopefully they work!

Keny..found used on e-bay from the US, so far they’ve worked fine. If you’re desperate I could send along the good 1 that I saved, wiring could be wrong color but that won’t stop the electrons flowing!

Exact same issue on my ‘86, after exhausting trouble shooting & replacing parts that are/were fine(ecm,etc) found 1 of the 2 pulser coils near starter clutch would cut out totally when heated. Oddly enough the other 1 is fine but faulty coil acted just like the ign kill switch, somehow stopping any ignition. Took me weeks to find it so hopefully it’ll help your problem!
-
Bank angle(tip-over) sensor, if it has such a thing. Otherwise ecm not saying “fire now!” to coils, unlikely on a fairly new model tho. Lack of good elec. contact where ecm plugs into main harness (maybe)

Hey D, so what's been happening with you?

Capt, how do you drive speedo on that hawk? -
To get grease behind rollers heat it until fairly thin & apply with soft clean toothbrush or similar. Good luck reusing that pair of ball bearings, they’re likely damaged even if you can’t feel/detect it…

👍Capt, agree completely. You said it better than I would’ve…

When I did this job on my ‘95 it was a real hassle getting those 2 brgs inside the hub/adjuster piece. Hope you have better luck(think they were NLA from Honda in Canada, had to source from a brg supply in the next province over)

T4, as you say though it’s not currently easy to find, so the semi-syn T5 would be fine, slightly more $, T6 also(full syn), still more expensive. That’s sorta why I say I’ll use any brand of 15 40 diesel oil that’s on sale, including the generic cdn tire(motomaster?)
-
No can tire outlet nearby? ive used their 15-40 diesel oils for years with great success, prefer rotella by shell but have had equal results with any brand on sale. Not motorcycle specific however if that’s a deal breaker for ya. The 20L pails offer the best perL price, way better than smaller packaging..
-
Most likely suspect (culprit) causing your issue is the “rebuilt” slave cyl, wrong parts/kit, piston in there not the correct dimensions, take it apart & compare to original part(s)? Grasping @ straws, but if everything else is correct...

Yes, shows how procrastination can pay off in a way, also that luck isn’t always the bad kind. May not be a favourable comment on my maintenance practice though!
