| Re: Can someone help me fit race plastics ?? I had to do that for a buddies 600rr, the tricky part was the inside of his fairing has insulation/foam on it. I used the bolts supplied for sliders at first, with some touch-up paint (or white out whatever you have lying around) to make the center mark. The step is good as you need to make so many holes in other things. I do have a portable drill press for straight drilling if you need to borrow, just pm me. I did a pilot hole from inside out, and then used the hole saw for the outside in. It may not matter as you will get it painted, but you do carpentry and should always cut from finished side to hidden side so tearout goes away/at a minimum. If you forget that, when you are not working on something that will get refinished, you won't be happy. Masking tape on out side helps out greatly.
For the side with alot of insulation, a buddy recommended getting a dowel that fits into bolt hole snug. Take bolt to lowes and get one cheap, or you may have one in the house. Cut it to length, and sharpen like a spike, set in place then push fairing onto it. The indent hole will act as pilot mark.
here is 600RR, came out great first try. Have tools and wagon, live in W Rox, you need a hand pm me we can carpool to your bike if needed. (never have done this for the other race stuff you mentioned)
