Posted: 21:04 - 19 Jul 2017 Post subject: Piece of plastic from GPS fell from handlebars! |
|
|
I was (attempting) to fix my TomTom to the left handlebar. However, in doing so, a piece of plastic designed to sit between the metal handlebar clasp and the mount fell down into the bike from the handlebar.
Frustratingly, it didn't drop out the bottom so it must be stuck somewhere. I've tried looking everywhere with a torch and cannot find it. Any ideas where it is likely to have got stuck and how to hell I can find it?
It's about 1 inch across, black plastic (makes it more difficult to find). The only places I can see it could have gone are behind the radiator or underneath the fuel tank.
Anyone have any ideas? |

It's one the right hand side by the cluch cover approx 3 inches from where the brake pedal finishes. ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

Not many hiding places for it. It's probably wedged under the LH side fairing or there's a chance it might be in the belly pan. Your best bet is to un clip the fairing - don't have to remove it all - and if it doesn't fall out you'll at least be able to see inside. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

if you have an air line, just blast behind the fairing like a mad man.
if you cant find it, go to the shop. get some epoxy, mix a little and build up a repair section in layers (let it cure between layers). you can then file to neaten it up, snap it off again and drop the broken bit into the fairing to see if it knocks the original part out of its hiding place
