Dzus fairing fastners. Few questions
Do you first need to have in insert screwed into the receiving hole (oo er) and do they turn one quarter to fix? Or are they basically pretty bolts that don't need a tool to use? Are there any quick fixers to go in place of the silly plastic panel clips?
Thanks.

Re: Dzus fairing fastners. Few questions
Cheers Ian. Final quick one, are they worth it? 5 or 6 trackdays, bit of cleaning? Suppose they make the fairings more nickable too.

Re: Dzus fairing fastners. Few questions
Maybe a cheap battery screwdriver is the order of the day. The plastic clips are pants though.

Re: Dzus fairing fastners. Few questions
I have been known to use an electric drill with hex bits and a 1/4 drive extension to get the tank off quickly. Very nearly went sane as I had to take the carbs off that many times when playing with jetting so did it that way.

Re: Dzus fairing fastners. Few questions
My lowers will be getting Dzus fasteners to go in the 3 fixings at the front centre of the join. The stupid push pin clips are next to useless and difficult to reach.

Re: Dzus fairing fastners. Few questions
Not really worth it unless you are a last minute fiddler before a race. I'd stay with the usual allen bolts, undone so many now i can do it in a flash with my 2wheeljunkie full road fairing.
