Which Fairing Bolts
Which Fairing Bolts
Is there a diagram that shows which length bolt goes where on the fairing and side panels? I took my fairing off to install the Darla lights and then kicked over the boards that I had used to set out the bolts in the order that they came out. No doubt, as you all know, there are three lengths of bolt, one without a shoulder, one with a short shoulder and one with a long shoulder - but which goes where?
Thanks.
Thanks.
So when is this “old enough to know better” supposed to kick in?

Casbar,
Do you have the picture for the top panel on the fairing, the one that has the BMW badge on it?
Many thanks.

Look up your bike on Real OEM. Click on Frame & Mounting Parts. . They are all shown.

Re: Which Fairing Bolts
That was incredibly useful when I double checked the fairing screws yesterday and found that I had one screw missing (no idea where it went) and also one grommet (or was it a wallace?) :))

Re: Which Fairing Bolts
I've learned when removing panels to tape the offending screw next to the hole it goes in, bit of masking tape works fine
My dealer also supplied me with a assortment of screws that fit Bmw's just in case I lose one

T6pilot,
I thought I was being clever laying the screws out in the order they came out .... until I kicked a piece of wood on the garage floor which then hit the screws and scattered them to the four winds. Can't repeat on here what I said (but you can imagine)!

I made the original images and uploaded them here.
The blue circles ( seem to have been removed on 'modified' version) are to be used to put the screws.
Laminate the sheets, mount them on some polystyrene or artist board, and then make small holes wher the blue circles are.
Push the screws into the holes for each as you remove them.

Re: Which Fairing Bolts
Thank you very much. I have ridden BMW motorcycles since 1967. This bike seems harder to work on.
