    I’d still check the bolts fit, the one I bought for my 89 didn’t

    Other brands are available

    The O rings on my 89 were in pieces and like wood, so you’re probably correct Remove the bolts #14/16 and the assembly will lift off, you should change the other O rings while you’re that deep in the engine, #10 will fall apart when you pull it apart

    Have you set the sag yet?

    Once you have a structural repair then you can use whatever you want, I like to use cellulose putty to get the panel to the point where I’ll put paint on it If it’s OEM colour then you can get paint fairly easily Chinese fairings fit where they touch, basically a last resort

    Get some ABS pipe adhesive, the stuff used for joining drain pipes ABS plastic sheet is available from eBay, 2 mm thick, cut into strips and glued on the inside of the fairing while you hold the crack together Acetone can then be carefully placed in the crack on the outside and then press it shut, hold for 5 minutes and repeat as required, I use a syringe to avoid problems I’ve repaired several panels that were in pieces and one had a 8” square chunk missing

    I don’t think a pipe cleaner is a good idea with the fuzzy outer A piece of copper wire should be fine

    How about this one, it was 11 separate roundabouts and this is the current version

    Have you looked at the parts diagram?

    OEM is no USB Theres a plug in power supply under the seat that I run my heated jacket through if you’re looking for an instant solution As you have a tour in mind I’d consider a new battery if it still has the original

    Rode through the bloody rain to an 8am MOT, it passed …. on reflection I should have worn my waterproof textile suit

    Just what I was thinking, judicious use of a hacksaw and dremel is worth trying Alternatively this might be useful https://www.rexs-speedshop.com/product-category/ignition-system/replacement-pick-ups/honda-pick-ups/

    This is a result of the traditional way of removing the bearing, knock it out and inevitably damage the seat More effect is using a Rawlbolt on the inner race and pull it out, also the cheap way of getting blind bearings out

    Now I’m going to have to go find it, this could take some time 641

    Loctite bearing fit will take up the slack Are using double lip sealed bearings?

    There’s usually some of them on eBay ….one of mine was cracked and did the same thing
  22. Thumbs
    You have a damaged wheel

    Careful with EBC clutch springs, I bought some and they were so heavy duty that I ended up taking them out

    Hmmm russian …
