Just repaired my race bodywork. I had the "D-ring" style Dzus fasteners on mine, but I thought the flat-headed self-ejecting might look a bit sleeker on the bike. I can cover up the plate with the vinyl wrap I used to wrap the fairings.
But I notice that not a lot of people have those - is there a reason besides needing to have a screwdriver or something else to turn the non-D-ring type? But since it takes a hex key to remove the bolts near the rearsets, it's not like it's a tool-less operation even with the D-rings...
Sometimes I'd have to yank on the d-rings on my other bike pretty hard (guess they weren't perfectly lined up? )
Makes me wonder if people have problems with the self ejecting types getting stuck...don't want to be in the garage cursing some stuck fasteners if I have to do a quick tweak to the bike between sessions / races.
Thoughts? Any other considerations when buying these things? I had a mix of the rivot type and slide-on type before, if I'm not mistaken, the rods were different length...not sure if they make all different sizes but none of my searches have brought up size options.....
