removal front and side fairings

DMAN302 · 02-22-2012, 07:48 AM

Can someone assist with easiest/ best method to remove the top fairing and side fairing without too much fuss??. I had the tank cover and tail redone and the results left me wanting to redoe the rest of the plastics....any help appreciated!

they just unbolt.......

Where in Ontario are you? If you close I could lend a hand if needed, but they are pretty easy.

Not hard at all....If this is your first time I suggest you use envelopes for the fasteners. Label the envelopes so you'll know where the fasteners go........

Thanks guys...she's all stripped down. I figure since I'm going to loose my gold ZX12 decal I'm going to abandon the whole black gold theme and go mystic black completely on the lower fairings. The painter got the color match close...infact the final color on the tank cover and tail was nicer than the factory mystic combo so I'm going to follow suit just to make guarantee perfect match. Great time modding eh.

Will do...she's already at the body shop and should be done in the next few weeks...now to get some decals decided on....hope I like the all black over the black/gold theme cause I'm obsessing and flipflpping in the head over this.

all black looks good...... seen it before and I like it.
Where you located man? Maybe we can meet up for a ride sometime this year.....

And this ZX12 wasn't the one on Kijiji for sale for a while was it?

I'm down here windsor..bought the bike off KIJIJI in october, yeah it sat for some time on there. Nice guy, good bike w/20,000km on the clock but I wanted to fresh her up...that's how this whole paint ordeal started. Can't complain though....real clean bike in stock form for 3900 canadian, think he started in the 5500 range when first listed....just had to drive 500km to pick it up!...and rode it home in 40deg and rain...but worth it. Still can't feel my fingers 6 months later LOL.
