I remember going out on a ride a few weeks and seeing a buddies R1 with some gold quick release fasteners used on the fairings. Does anyone know where I can find a bulk package of these to use on my r6?
Typically two on each side of the engine cowl, as track bodywork only uses two pieces to cover the engine. If you have a SBK tail, you can use four of them to attach the undertail; although small plastic rivets will work too.
Are there any good quick release kits for the stock fairings? or are there any race fairings i can make street legal. would really love to make the fairing removal process simpler.
Awesome, any word on the graves plug type? or maybe a combo of those and dzus fasteners? just trying to make my 08 fairings as hassle free as possible. would I be able to get away with the dzus fasteners only?
yea... the longer bolts that bolt the "tips" of the uppers to the actual frame cannot be replaced. in fact, you'll use those to mount track glass as well.
as for the year, i'm not sure. i think it was jamieching... so an S model, or 03-05 would be the same. i'd guess the third-gen would be pretty similar though. he bought a 4-pack to test, then came back and bought the rest of the 20 or so he needed.
I can see the point of using it on street fairings but keep in mind it'll be easier for thieves to steal your fairings.
A guy I know around here parked his bike close to the door and someone stole his windshield, it was held on by the plastic windshield screws so he invested in the hex type bolts now.
I am not too concerned with that, the bike is mostly a track-day/canyon bike that is kept in a very secure location 90% of the time. and never leaves my sight the other 1o% but I see how that could be a big worry for a lot of people.
