Fitting new screen?
Hey Guys,
Received a new screen this morning for my pointy and have 1 question before I try fit it: Will the screen nuts on the inside of the fairing remain in place when I unscrew the screw or do I need to take part of the fairing off to access those nuts? Thanks. |

Re: Fitting new screen
Remove screws, pull out rubber grommets (inserts), change screen, refit grommets and screws.
Loosing fairing can help if grommets very distorted as can re-fitting new grommets |

Re: Fitting new screen
Ahhh. Ok cool. I had visions of me doing this (in the dark) and having nuts falling out when I take the screws out.
Thanks for the help

Re: Fitting new screen
I ended up buying a screen fitting kit from York Suzuki when I did mine - the old rubbers were all crap & useless, new ones were harder stainless steel fasteners so didn't round off like the standard Suzuki cheesium ones.
Just a thought for if you get stuck..

Re: Fitting new screen
So you don't have to cough up for some more rubber gromits......boil the kettle and soak them in hot water for a wee while. See them reshape before your eyes, and be completely reusable!!

Re: Fitting new screen
Thanks for all the ideas. Will try the kettle out for the grommets. I had thought the current screws looked quite soft.

Re: Fitting new screen
Dunno if curvies are same...not seen them in many a year, but are the screw threads not internal to the rubber gromits and brass(or goldish at least)?
Either way, wack them in a nice bowl of steaming water and they lose the bulge!!

Re: Fitting new screen
Same I think, I got a new set of black Pro-Bolt screws and new grommets (with brass threat inserts) off Ebay for £4.99 I think.
Boiled up the old ones and they were a lot better but not as good as the new ones but would have done. Straight ones are a breeze to fit! |

Re: Fitting new screen
Are the Pro-Bolt packs bike specific or more generic to fit any faired bike?
