 Posted: 16:10 - 29 Mar 2005  Post subject: Crashbung fitting. |
 |
|
Right, i want to fit crash bungs too my CBR 600 steel frame, and im being quoted around 70-80 quid to have two holes drilled in the fairing, on top of the 50 quid for the bungs. Call me old fashioned but that kinda ruins the point of having them.
Can anyone tell me some tips on how to line up the holes in the fairing with the mount, how to drill it neatly and completely on target, and what tools are needed?

Remove the fairings and undo the engine bolt. Pull the engine bolt out so its sticking out in the way of the fairing and put some tipex on the end of it, keeping it there put the fairing back in place and you've now got a tipex marking on the back of your fairing where the hole needs to be drilled.
Start by drilling a small pilot hole and once you're sure its in the correct place use a bigger drill bit, drill it neatly by being smooth and you can sand the edges down after you've finished to make it neater if you want.
What tools, some tippex, tools to remove fairing and engine bolt, small drill bit for drilling pilot hole and a 25mm for drilling the actual full size hole.
There are instructions on the R&G Racing website which will be pretty much the same for all mushrooms which mount like that.  |

Cool. What about making sure the fairing is aligned correctly with the bolt when putting it back on to mark it? Surely if its angled slightly it will go pete tong?
I spose with two and a half cms to play with theres a lot of margin of error for the pilot hole.
Thanks for the advice anyway mate
