gravelrash 0 Posted December 11, 2013 been pulling the front of the bike apart today to sort an annoying loose fairing, while it was apart I found a lot of surface rust on the fairing bracket so that was rust protected and painted I thought the wobble was a worn bush in the top mount but it turned out the bottom mounting bolt was loose and just needed tightening up so it was all stripped for nothing really but at least the rust is sorted, and no more loose fairing!

Would of been surprised for you to have found rust on the Ace Dick its immaculate! @haveugot1 wrote:nice one mike glad u got it sorted. So when u selling it?Suppose like you and Skelly when I find something I like better to replace it, it'll do for now mate, but I'm not going in a bike dealership with either of you two! @BanditMike wrote:Nicely done mate The ZX is currently fairing-less, just waiting for the gasket to be done. Will be starting the cleaning shortly Always good to get the bike's clothes off every now and again Mike and give a good clean, hope the bike is fettled soon, although no hurry its freezing out there!
