Loose front fairing
Hey guys, new to the forum. I just picked up an '07 1000rr and the front fairing seems to be loose. It wobbles up and down at highway speed and over really bumpy roads and it looks like the clips the hold it keep popping off. Any ideas how to fix it?
If your talking about the plastic pins/bolts for the bottom I just noticed I was missing one also. Seems they are notorious for falling out not sure. Just spent the day waxing my 07 1000rr up today and noticed that pin missing.
Start with the basics, main part of the fairing is usually held in place by a brace, bolted onto a rigid parts of the frame. Then things like the side panels, lowers & windscreen are attached onto the main. Rigidity is maintained by the way they connect with each other, the center piece & lowers (screwed into other sections of the frame). It does not take much to make the fairing start to wobble if some of the pins are missing & say a loose mounting bolt or 2. What you really should be worried about, if its wobbling, then some strain will be happening on the mounting parts of the fairing & can cause cracking in the ABS plastics & some points to even snap. So pull the panels & check that what needs to be tight is & replace the pins.
If you go OEM the little buggers can cost a bomb, but after market ones are availible, they look the same & are probably made by the same company, but without HONDA part number .... on the label.
