Question about the metal cowl pieces

On my '93 the previous owner took off the little metal cowl pieces on either side, because they didn't fit with the TBR exhaust system. i looked at them today to see if they would fit with some modification. but i cant even tell how they bolt on. am i missing a bracket or something?

 

Yes, the two holes on the frame, is where the bracket goes. I put plastic plugs in all the holes, you can get them at any auto parts store, there used for holding door panels in place.

thanks, ill have to see if the PO gave me the brackets too. I assume thats your bike in you avatar. Did you just take them off too? I really like the look of the bike with them on, i want to try to mod them to fit.

 

The original exhaust collector has bungs in it for the rear mounting of the cowl pieces. You'll have to fab up a bracket to keep the rear of the cowls from flapping around.

 

Here's a pix of what I did. I thought it would be to much work to fab up the brackets, but I prefer it w/o the extra fairings.

I still have the brackets somewhere in the garage if you would like a pix, or if your in the Richmond area sometime you can check them out.

nitro that would be awesome if you could take a pic of the brackets, its its not too much trouble.

 

Okay, I lied, the right bottom mount to the factory exhaust and to the center stand. The center stand goes into the two large holes, and the cover slide over the two tabs.

Hope this helps

thanks again nitro. now i realize why you said it looks like to much work to fab something up.



we should get the white viffers together for a ride sometime. i live up in caroline but i work in the west end.
