issues with head light support - 800FI

Hi,
I had a vibration in the front of the bike and all the front part of the fairing can move by 2-3 cm

I started getting off the fairing and I figured out that the piece (plastic???) that maintains the light bloc to the metallic structure is broken:



Do you think it would be possible to open the head light to get access to the back part, stick two screws in the holes and attach these screws to the metallic structure?

I have difficulties to disassemble the fairing especially with the piece that maintain the inner plastic cover to the front piece of the fairing. I can I get it off without braking everything?


Hope my english is clear enough for you t understand ;-)

 

is it safe to open the case of the head lamp?

 

Yeah, you should be able to do this. In order to open the the lamp up you will have to bake the lamp in an oven for a while to soften the glue that seals the lamps. After you get them apart it should be simple and straight forward.

 

finally I FOUND 2 SCREWS THAT FIT JUST PERFECT IN THE HOLES LEFT BY THE BROKEN PIECES.
I put everything back in place and no more vibs, so I am happy with my work!
