In need of fairing hardware, 86 VFR750

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows where to get the hardware for the side fairings. I need to purchase a new fairing which is not a big deal to find, but I also need the hardware and can't seem to source it, mainly the long stud that screws in near the crank case from the middle of the fairing. Thanks in advance.

I've been looking for those fairing stays for quite some time now. Unfortunately they're made of Unobtanium.

 

But you can always just measure the gap and have a metal fabricator turn some down for you.

 

Haha I hear ya man. I'll be on the lookout and let you know if I find any. Thanks.

Geezus, wouldn't a long, appropriately-threaded bolt do the job ??:confusion:

 

Un-Bolted

Go to the Honda dealership. I would bet that they'd be able to find the size of fastener and then look at a more modern bike and cross reference it. You could do the same at Bike Bandit. Or just get the size and then they'd sell you one. Honda is smart that way, in that they keep using the same items year after year. Why put different sized fasteners on every new model that comes out? Worth a try. Also used part places have bucket fulls of nuts & bolts.

 

Thanks man! Great post.

Unfortunately, no. The longest bolt at any hardware store I've checked at isn't long enough.

Thanks man, I would definitely do that but I recently was able to find a member who was nice enough to create some from aluminum for me.

 

I purposefully don't use the stock mounts as they tend to break large chunks of fairing off in a fall. A curved piece of metal that can bend and absorb an impact would be better. Just a thought.

 

Just like the 87 versions
23 instead of 22

 

Yeah, 23 is better, but I would make it more curved and just sturdy enough to keep the fairings from moving at speed.

My bike had chunks missing on the fairing on both sides. I grafted in new material so they are fixable, but it's a real pain.
