Hi All,

Something has been bugging me about the Tail Fairing, the H-piece just does not seem to fit right.
If you have a look at the photo you can see that it just isn't right.



The metal straps that hold the rear light asembly are secure and the two screws that secure the H-piece to the left and right seat panels are secure. At the top of the H-piece there is a small two-pronged fork that clips around the two tangs (one on each) of the seat panels. It all goes together well, but after one ride the fork and tangs have separated and the H-piece is loose again at the top.

I do not know anyone else with an RVF (in fact the only other one I've seen in Adelaide had a Tyga RC211V fairing) so I can't easily figure out how it is supposed to go together. The Haynes and CMSNL references aren't helping.

Has anyone got a suggestion (or better yet a photo) of how this is all supposed to connect together?

Many thanks in advance,

Ben.

it sounds like you have it alltogether correctly. but i would double check the tangs you describe on the seat panels are properly seated between the pronged fork on the H piece.. not just on the sides of the fork but at the end of it too....you can get your hand in with the pillion seat off and just about see if its seated properly when everythings bolted together...

looks like a typical RVF with broken lugs in the tail piece. RVF seat unit plastics are not a patch on the NC30 seat unit plastics, and when a lugs snapped inside gives this wonky look. If you remove it you will see what i mean.

remove it, seal it up and fix it into place with a glue gun, leave to set and wait for another lug to break
