View Full Version : Side fairing bolt sizes?
Went to my local Suzuki dealer to get new bolts for my side fairing (pointy), they said because it is an after purchase extra they don't stock the bolts (fair enough).
Question is, would these bolts be alrite ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PRO-BOLT-FAIRING-BOLT-KIT-SV650S-SV650-03-06-BLACK-/310195577152?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item483918e140#ht_2506wt_1270
Or is there somewhere you guys get your bolts from that's even easier ? Had a look on the forum couldn't see anything about this.
Cheers

try this site for starters - much cheaper than pro-bolt and all stainless steel - even have nylon washers..http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/boltmeup/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
Stainless would be better, they last much longer. Although the alloy ones might look nice (matter of taste I suppose) the hex deforms as you tighten/undo them.
Cheers Martin - ill take a look at that website now. flymo

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, I got black alloy bolts for my new screen the other day. Went to tighten them up and they were so soft they chewed a little bit. Look a bit silver-ish now, probably worse than had I just used stainless !

i use the button flange ones and they are perfect. for the lower fairings its m6 x 16mm. for the top fairing its m6 x 20. for your screen its m5 x 16mm but i'll double check. for your discs its m8 x 20mm i'll double check this as well.
they are a bit slow to post out but at those prices i'm sure you can wait.

Oh dear watch out wallet I can see a raid coming :D

yup it's nut'n'bolt porn at silly prices
Thanks for your help, i'm going to order some (alot! :rolleyes:) today.
Please don't ask why, but my main fairing is a bit loose at the moment and is help on by trusty zip ties.
That's why I wasn't sure the sizes, couldn't see them on a parts fiche I was looking at, so if I order these ones;
lower fairings its m6 x 16mm;
top fairing its m6 x 20mm;
screen its m5 x 16mm;
discs its m8 x 20mm.
One last question - the two dash covers, that come off to get into the sidelights, (infront of the levers) are held on by a self tapping screw ? Has anybody got the size of this screw handy ?
IIR the faring ones are No8 x 15mm and the infill's are No10 x 10mm
a little tip. use the same m6x15 bolts for your seat infill's and your seat. that way you are only using 1 allen drive on all of the bolts apart from the discs (when i say discs i mean the black/silver faring discs and not brake discs).
the only bolts i have found that you cant use others is the ones below the handle bars that connect the black clocks cowl to the top fairing.
another thing i have done is replaced the bottom plastic push rivets with rubber well nuts and stainless bolts + plastic washers. this involves drilling the black plastic bridge piece and the adjoining one in the middle behind the wheel and at the back (don't drill the front hole) holes out to 9.5mm and inserting the rivet nuts then use m5 x 12mm bolts to secure. you have to push the bolt a little when putting everything together but it gives a perfect finish.
when using stainless steel bolts always use copper grease on the threads especially if its going into alloy.
much help bibio , thanks .

Hi all dont want to start a new thread on the same bolt size topic!
Anyone know what the size of the bolt is that bolts the front fairing bracket onto the frame? There are two bolts one above the other that hold the whole nose section on....
One of mine has apparently fallen out and subsequently the nose cone can bounce around :/
As a bonus question...does anyone know where i can get those little screws that hold in the black plastic like front nose undertray that you can detach?
if its for the main bracket then its M8 x 20mm Part Number: 01550-0820A
don't know about the side access pods. Part Number: 09132-05053

Hopefully you can see the image above! - Hopefully thats the one we were both thinking of? Wouldnt happen to know the pitch would you?
And i dont really know what to do with part numbers! Ill just go on pro-bolt and buy what im told :D
doubt pro-ripoff will sell them suzuki however do and they are £1.72 + vat at any dealer. and the screw is £1.92 + vat.
screw is #10 x 15mm
don't know the pitch of the bolt off hand but at a guess i would say 1.25

FYI - same happened to mine so I replaced with a longer bolt with a nylon locking nut on the other side to avoid it falling out again.

Can someone post sizes for curvy please? or maybe they are the same ?? can someone confirm

Sorry. Fairing please (lower and upper) if you have got such an information

23-05-12, 03:35 PM
So can someone please confirm if the bolt sizes for a fairings is the same for curvy and pointy? if not what size are they for curvy??
i had a quick look and it looks like they are all shouldered bolts so you would need spacers. i'll check on the sizes again much later tonight and post them up.

Sorry for being a pain but could you have a look for me, or point me in the right direction please.

If you cannot get hold of the proper shouldered bolts, try using a short length of plastic tubing on the bolt. It will squash down and act as a shoulder. You will probably need to try a few times until you find the correct size.

this will give you your part codes. you then order from your suzuki dealer or robinsons foundry.

Glad I found this thread it's hopefully been a big help in trying to figure out fitting my lower fairings.
Just a couple of quick questions, does the fairing fit directly to the radiator on a K4 (54 plate) as it doesn't seem to line up on mine which leads me to think I need the bracket even though I thought that was only K5 onwards?
And secondly whether I need a bracket or not, has anyone any ideas where to get the 15 x 13.5 bushing with flanges from for the same bolt mentioned above, I know it's probably not essential but if I can get them all the better.
any of the brackets or bushes/spacers are part of the kit from suzuki and only suzuki sell them as a whole kit. the radiator bracket is just a u shaped offset bracket.
once my adjuster brackets are done i'm going to set about making a replacement kit.

I posted the measurements for the u shaped offset bracket a while back, everything is easy to buy 'off-the-shelf' for pennies, with the exception of the RHS bracket near the crankcase cover, although I'm sure something could be fettled relatively easily.
I've always wanted to figure out which bits are required altogether and produce a kit for around a tenner lol

think your dreaming again.. lol
i know where to get all the grommets etc.etc but you have to buy in bulk then factor in laser cutting, forming, welding tapping and machining and i reckon a whole kit would come in at around £40-50 with the main bulk of that being the large frame brackets.

It's just I noticed on a similar thread to this someone mentioned that on a K4 the bolt should fit straight through the fairing and into the lower radiator hole but on mine it's slightly offset. Not to worry I'd assumed from looking into it that I'd have to fettle some brackets for either side of the radiator and the lower parts near the foot rests and I think I've managed something half decent. I'm just trying to get it done as good as I can without paying daft money for the official fixing kit, would I get away with using an M6 x 15 or 25 bolt with a nut for the radiator and lower brackets do you think, without bushes if I can't find any? And something similar for the lower front aswell (4 underneath 1 at front)?

Cheers, I'll compare them and the Aruncas site (posted above).

I'll be getting crash bungs to take care of that part of the kit. So taking that out of the equation would a tenner not cover the rest of the kit (at cost)? I know I'd have bought one at the moment if there was one available at say £20 as it still works out cheaper than Suzukis fixing kit even with R & G crash bungs, I don't know where they get their prices from?!
Nobbylad
12-06-12, 03:37 PM
Exactly, I wasn't factoring in the mounts as they're no use anyway.
Nobbylad
12-06-12, 03:43 PM
I've found most stuff online, including the grommets (large and small) for the fairings themselves. The LHS mounting plate (that bolts onto the sidestand) is easy enough to make, as are the rad hanger brackets. Then it's just bolts, top hat bushes and the LHS rear mounting post.
bottom mounts, bridge piece rad mounts are all fairly easy and when i do the kits i plan on selling them 'modular' so you only buy what you need. i could do crash bungs but i'm not prepared to test them out so i'll leave them to the big boys which i still think are well overpriced for what they are especially replacement bungs :-)

12-06-12, 03:56 PM
I'll pm you some links etc for the bits I found so far
dirtyred619
12-06-12, 07:58 PM
Heres what I reckon I need:
2 x M6 x 15 bolts, 2 x M6 nuts and 2 x 13 x 17.5 bushing with flange to attach to radiator bracket.
2 x M6 x 15 bolts, 2 x M6 nuts and 2 x 14 x 8.5 bushing with flange to attach to lower fairing near footrests.
5 x M6 x 15 bolts, 5 x M6 nuts to attach lower front of fairing. ( 4 of which to attach to hinge type bracket)
Does that look about right or should I try and get hold of the long and short rivets mentioned in the fitting instructions, not sure on the size of them though?
the lower brackets are also offset and attach to the engine bolt.
once i have documented the fitting kits (i have almost 2 full kits) i might put them up for sale but this will be a week or so.

Ah right that would be handy so that's all the proper parts then (proper brackets, bushes etc?) that I need. I'm in no massive rush how much would you want for the bits I need or a full kit if you wouldn't want to split it?
