Not them sort of rubbers :lol: .

I stripped off all the paintwork and there was no rubbers in any bolt holes :evil: , am i correct in thinking there should be 2 piece shouldered rubbers with small metal insert :?: , and does that also apply to the 4 screws holding on screen :?:

Also doesn't the 1000cc have the glassfibre fairing (anorak alert)

I think the very early (81 model) 1100's had fibreglass fairings.

Yep.... the early Kat1000sz defo had a fibreglass fairing...........and also the early 1100sz, some people even swapped them over to poly carbonate fairings as the thought they were pattern fairings, only to find out they had done wrong! ;) ;) ;)

Only good news is the fairing is fibreglass, now only got to source all the bloody rubbers :x

Had thought about using my lathe and turning out Nylon but probably to hard :cry:

So better start by ringing robinsons :|

Unfortunately i need a complete set:-

2 x Petrol tank,
4 x tail fairing,
5 x headlamp fairing,
Inserts not a problem as Making combined top washer incorporating centre tube in alluminium ;)

Also may need the 6 sidepanel securing bungs as mine look hard + brittle :(

cheers Kiwi. :mrgreen:

Thanks Pete,
considering the price and most of them stay hidden IMO ;) , so i've taken the plunge and ordered 10 just to see how good/bad they look :roll:, plus the bike's not in standard concourse condition :!:
