Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 12 Member Contributer Share Posted July 12 Same here. There's a XX for sale nearby and I'm exercising all my self control to *not* ring the number. We do indeed love pics - both of your 5th gen and 'Bird. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 80s Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Welcome!! There's a red injected XX near me too. Fucking killing me. But I would not have the support of the spousal approval authority. Nor do I want to store that bike at this time. I want a friend to buy it, but he's being a pussy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zanshen Posted July 16 Author Share Posted July 16 Can someone explain is there a clip that fastens this as it just appeared. Ie fairing slightly separated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Grum Posted July 16 Member Contributer Share Posted July 16 You could compare it to the other side. Guessing the black needs to tuck in between the two tangs of the silver section, locating the silver and black closer together. Remove some of the silver fairing screws, hopefully you should be able to pop the black section into the correct location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will loosen the screws and try it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
