    Also, what size grommets did you install in the rear tail section at 5:07. Looks like you went to Ace hardware for a bunch of screws. That's also the point that I'm at with this build

      I think they were 1/4 20 sized not sure on that one and yes ace hardware always has what I need in stock I hate going to Lowe’s or home depot to try to find things because one they’re either all stollen out of the bags or just nothing there at all.

    Which bolts did u used?
    Is there any bolt kit include the selftapping screws?

    • @mendingmotos
      @mendingmotos  2 дня назад

      I used the bolt kit that came with the fairings. However, I do not recommend them. They are such lightweight aluminum. They almost feel plastic and break really easily. I recommend checking out pro bolt USA for a set of steel bolts or thicker gauge aluminum ones in the screws were not included. I had to go to a local hardware store and pick out some screws that were the correct size.

      Just between the metal fairing stay and the plastic it’s the special rubber spacer.

    • @mendingmotos
      @mendingmotos  2 месяца назад +1

      when I got the bike, the servo motor and the valve from the exhaust had already been deleted. It’s a pretty straightforward process of just unbolting things and unhooking cables. There should be plenty of RUclips videos on it. Hope that helps.

Also, I use carb cleaner and some stiff brushes to get all the varnished gunk out of the fuel pump housing as well.

      @@mendingmotos my plastics cracked below the seat all the way across the middle part. I live in AZ and the heat beats plastic up bad. so I plan to order a set and liked one from Monster. The question I have is, what is the quality of their plastic. seen the broken part and starting to think maybe look else where due to the HEAT here .

    • @mendingmotos
      @mendingmotos  7 месяцев назад +1

      I think as far as quality they are the best non oem route, I did an eBay brand called zxmt and those melted near the headers on my r6 build even with extra heat protection. This set for the gsxr from monster (other than the piece that broke in shipping due to it not having a support rod) has not melted or distorted. I have seen a set of amotopart and they felt thinner and so did auctmarts fairing kits. One thing I will stress is try to get real oem bolts, the bolt kit monster sends for free… they feel like plastic painted silver I snapped several of them and with two finger righting you could feel them stretching and about to give. But over all I do recommend monster over other bands. Hope this helps
