Position of top hole in aft top fairing

#1 Post by torp68 » Fri Mar 23, 2018 12:50 pm

Hi

Repainting my set of used RZV fairings to fit my RD500.
Would like to have the original aft grab rail installed, but unsure exactly where to drill in the little top/aft fairing.
(Do have access to the aft side fairings, so happy with that.)

Anybody willing to do some measurements?

If you look at the inside of the RZV cover you'll see the spot to drill. It's a raised spot that should be obvious. See the photos below of RZ and RZV covers I have here.

Ok. That makes sense!
I saw (as per your picture) a total of five circles under there, so didn't think much about it.
Just pulled off the heatshield&tape on the back of the aft side covers also. Same indications where to bore the holes there also it seems!

Thanks again,; you're as always very helpful!
