1. I bought plastic's off ebay from china. They look nice but they are missing the brass in-certs that allow me to screw in such things as the head light and tail light mounting brackets. Is there anywhere I can get them?

2. My bike pulls to the left when I let me hands off. I dont think its a brake issue. Is there a way to adjust the alignment?

Thanks.

Bike's a 99 F4

 

To answer my first question. I found them at grainger. 15 bux :/

 

Welcome aboard. Can you post some pics of your plastics? There are many on the forum that are considering these & would like to see them.

 

Pulling to one side could be:

• Triple clamp not tight or fork not parallel in the clamp
• More oil in one fork.
• Brake grabbing on one side
• Forks not adjusted correctly (preload)
• Rear wheel not parallel
• Front tire badly cupped on one side
• Low air pressure front tire
• Cables or wires binding and not allowing front end to be free stop to stop

 

Try CheapCyclePart. Com they seem to be the cheapest for a few bolts.

As to the bike pulling one direction....Chain is right....I bet its the tire pressure.

If the bike took a hard hit it could very well be the forks are bent.

 

Will do when I get a new camera. Some dirt bag broke in sunday and stole my mother's purse, the camera and went to town on her CC. The plastic's look great. they are not the correct color though. So I will probably repaint everything black. I got the yellow ones the color looks more like the new F4i yellow vs. the old burnt yellow.






Thats the thing. I have yet to find anyone who sell's what I'm looking for. Its not the rubber insert. Its the brass press insert. But I found them at grainger. so I bought them.

Welcome. Almost any auto parts stores should also have those inserts in their fasteners section. Can't wait to see the china fairings.
