Re: VFR400 rebuild
Personally I don't like those. I'd rather pay for the R&G ones that go lower through the holes in the lowers. They're the expensive ones that have the bar all the way through.
(I'm pretty sure these don't require drilling?!

Re: VFR400 rebuild
I was advised that a fall would crack the fairing, not sure if the lower part of the belly pan would be saved.lizard821000 wrote:come on lads ^^

I took them off, you can have them if you still want them.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
WIN!!! if i can get r&g that dont need cutting .
cheers guys, i thought the same, the cheap ones look way too far up the bike!? i dont mind forking out bigger penies for r&g tbh,compared to the cost of new plastics and paint.
im sure iv seen a few diff types if thats the case , some R&G that deffo need cutting, others that folk say dont!? think ill have to call them direct for answers.
thanks for replies fellas.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
I use the ones from Matt's post. R&G non-drill bungs. Proper solid too, you could pick the bike off the ground with those buggers.

Re: VFR400 rebuild
music to my ears mate!! looks like those are the ones for me. so do they just stick through the holes already in the pannels? i take it the pannels come off to fit the rod, then the bugs can be fitted once the pannels go back on.
cheers boys. i hate cutting my pretty pannels

Re: VFR400 rebuild
Nah you get 2 alloy plates that attach to a part of the frame, and a bar that goes through the middle which holds the bungs in place. The kit comes with some pretty comprehensive instructions.
