Need help with NSR 125 Fairing position plz

Hi,

I've just bought a NSR 125 02 reg which is a Cat c write off, I've stopped the oil leak, fixed the brakes, straightened the handlebars and stopped the Fork leak and all the other things I could find wrong with the bike.............
https://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b385/walshie1987/MyToy.jpg

Hard / Main stuff out of the way I started building the bike back up, I put the fairings on and noticed that the front tyre catches when you turn the handlebars (as you can see from the photo), I've tried repositioning the brackets (Mainly hitting them with a hammer! Laughing

) and still cannot get the fairing to sit properly.

I've only got the lhs fairings and have never seen a complete set of nsr 125 fairings, can anyone post me some pics of the positions of the front fairings, and any fairings that are behind the front wheel, any photos / advise will be a huge help.

If anyone can spot straight off from the photo that the ground clearence etc. is to high please also let me know.

As you'll have guessed I'm new to the NSR

Cheers
Walshie Thumbs Up

Are you 100% sure the frame is OK?

EDIT: something doesn't look quite right in that photo but I can't put my finger on exactly what. The forks look bent to me but it may be the angle... Confused

Thats what I'm starting to wonder, I'll pull the fearing off tomorrow and get another pic, from what I recall though visually they look fine, plus no front end damage on the fearing to maybe suggest a head on smash.

As for frame, I've check wheel alignment and its spot on, no major damage to frame, just a couple of scratches, starting to get a bit worrying now though, how something as simple as fearings can show a prob like this Confused

from what I can gather, but could be wrong, the bike slid on the lhs, due to gear lever being snapped, left mirror slightly cracked and the main lhs fairing badly scuffed. The brackets are also bent, i've tried straightening them but not had much luck.

I'll get some more detailed photos posted up tomorrow see what you think, and will give forks a good looking at, Just thinking, I think the frame that holds the speedo etc. is slightly bent (lower at one side) so hopefully these things could account for the prob.

Cheeers for ur help Thumbs Up

i think this bike had a meeting with a wall or everything similar . i suggest that you find a subframe in good shape (ebay) look the picture of the spare

Yeah I think you're both right, hopefully, since the top fairing bracket and the subframe are all joined, a new subframe will cure the problem.

......and everything was going so well lol

I'll get some more photos later and keep you upto date

Cheers for the help Thumbs Up

It kinda looks like your forks aren't straight.

If I were you I'd get your rear on a paddock stand, put a jack under the exhaust or some other support point and take the forks off. That way you can take a look if they are straight.

It just looks like your handle bars are straight and your wheel isn't.

may be but they are not related with the bracket . it's a question of bended bracket or frame distortion
