Old Girlfriend goes down hard...or no good deed goes unpunished.

the Po claimed the first owner put a clock in the right side face panel and cracked the fairing. He put a piece of sheet stainless over the panel and around the corner towards the tank all the way up to the vent. He also folded a piece around the bottom where it bolts onto the lower fairing mounts. he attached the stainless with rivets. When I ran into him last year on a charity ride he noticed that the crack along the bottom (in the middle of the bump out below the vents) had walked forward a little farther. I was noticing more movement in the fairing itself as a whole this spring so last week I bought one off E-Bay from California. The sad part is that when I was changing it out I found out that the main mounting bolt(10mm) in the front on the left side was broken. Thus the reason I was seeing so much more movement as there was no support on the left side allowing the right side crack to open more. Bummer dude. I do have all the pieces though that go in the bottom. if someone wanted to ABS weld it back together.

The other bummer part is the new fairing was setup with the radio in the middle between the speakers. my old one is setup with the radio in the left face panel only. So I have a lot of extra open holes. I think it came off an Aspencade because the right face panel has several factory looking holes like the compressor switches were there. I am still trying to get all the radio wiring hooked back up. I had a loose wire going to the right speaker. I also had a few extra wires in there. When I did the swap last week It got pretty late and I was trying to finish up holding a flashlight in my teeth. Also the big question is.... How long does it take to recover from 11,374 mosquito bites?

about 3 months if you scratch. About 3 weeks if you don't. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

Overnight IF you have access to a Steambath (first choice) or a Sauna. Bask in either one for about 15 minutes as hot as you can take it, get into a cool shower (not cold) right away and rinse off really well, repeat at least once. Best cure I've ever found for insect bites and acne.
