Fairing Trim Clips


Hingley

Recommended Posts

I was starting to put together a list of bits and pieces I will need for the 1999 VFR800 restore and I found I will need quite a few of the plastic push pins that attach a lot of the fairing and plastic trim pieces

Of course when I went to see what they were worth here of crazy Canada I was quoted $5.50 each plus tax, part # 90683-GAZ-003, Honda calls it a clip, trim

Well that is not going to happen if I have anything to do with it, I am sure someone has had to source these plastic push pins before and would really like to know the source

Most large hardware stores have an equivalent. Ebay and similar are even cheaper. Size what you need and order those and some spares for later.

Trim clip 90683-GAZ-00 was used on '98 / '99 bikes, on '00 /'01 bikes they used 90683-MBW-003.

Not a big fan of GAZ clips, have not bought an aftermarket version.  I have used  MBW clones.  This looks like a good substitude. You get 30 for $8.99.

My favorite trim clip, they have a cleaner/tighter fit but that also makes them more of a challenge to install/remove.

Don't forget well nuts.

If you want to fall into the rabbit hole of clips and fasteners

Dam, you boys are good

I will be paying a ton of these plastic trim clips for sure

I looked at those Honda cowl nuts part # 90111-KW3-003 , and they were $5-$6 a piece as well, but I figured I would never find ones that

fit as good as the originals in the fairing holes, does your aftermarket ones fit good?

If so it is Christmas early

While I can't guarantee what I bought has the perfect clip for your particular need, they are good quality and fit securely where I have used them.  I figured for that price, it was just nice to have a huge selection and get some removal tools to boot.  Already has paid for itself easily.

Does anyone know if these are the right ones for the VFR fairings ('98-'01)? I used up my last two Honda ones tonight. Thanks!

 

Also discovered that my '98 uses screw in plugs on the caliper retaining pins, but my '00 uses rubber plugs. 

 

I need to order some things!

Are these plugs the ones used on the inner fairing panels, oem # 90683-GAZ-003 ?, if so on my 99 these plastic plugs are a push pin style

If they are these plugs I have a couple of oem's I took off the bike and will check the measurements with the ones you found on Amazon

Sizes are the same '98-'00, but early ones used that "T" head and later ones the Phillips head (cheaper and don't break).

For those in Europe looking for trim clps: Würth is a good source. Bought a few boxes of different sizes years ago. At that time they were €8 for a box of 50.

Thanks for the link. Do you know which type/size are required for the 01 vfr800?

Look on Amazon for part # 90683-MBW-003 or  90683-GAZ-003

The listing shows the size of the pin, the price was sure right compared to Honda pins so I ordered a bag, was not sure about coming from China but they arrived in a couple of weeks, come to think of it I must check the pin fitment on the fairing pieces,
