Ok whos nicked the holes!!!!!

Stripped the front of the bike down to change the dash lights last night took 20mins to strip and change the bulbs . Then took 40mins to put it all back together But I have what look like two fairing bolts left over, but no holes

answers on a postcard please

i did that,

have looked averywhere and i cant see where they are from and nothing appears to be loose.

ive come to the conclusion that when i put the bolts on the mat on the garage floor they mated and produsce little stainless steel offspring.............

The SV has stainless steel bolts? Thought that they were made of cheese?

Worryingly there are a few stainless bolts scattered about.

air scoop inlets have screws in them but not normally stainless unless somone changed them


on a curvy you should have two stailess on top of the fairing just below the bars,
a larger one in the side of the fairing. and one in the very top after that they are a screw in the ducts as before and the mirror mount and thats all that hold it on once you disconnect the indicator cable

there should be two stainless underneath your front fairing point directly above the front mudgaurd is it these ???

either side of these there should be a press stud into the side fairings.

No all the bolts and screws you have mentioned are all present and correct,so still none the wiser

thinking back i seem to remember underneath the mirror bolt covers on either side there are stainless studs there thess hold the sides of the clock fasias to the front

you have to take the fasia`s off with a screwdriver then they should be there after that the only other stainless on the front ,
bar for the one`s holding your screen is the one holding your clock to the mounting bracket just below and infront of the ignition switch

Right ok here we go

Front center pannel has 4 holding it. 2 underneath by the mudguard, 2 inline with the sidelight (These are hidden when side pannels are fitted)

Then theres 5 per side pannel (Fat one goes at rear of pannel, and th 3mm one is the lower of the screen bolts.

One holds the clock surround in front of head stock.

Then theres 2 plastic clips underneath by the mudguard, 2 inch long scres that go in the front airvents, and 2 scrws that hold the top of the clock surround, 4 allen theaded bolts for the morrors, and 2 long screws for the mirror covers. and thats it
