Race Fairing & Tank Cap Fitting issue

Hi Guys,

Just coming to the end of a road to race bike conversion of a new 2012 fireblade. It's my first time ever to do this and this forum has been such an invaluable source of info. Despite searching there are a few things I have yet to find an answer for so I hope someone out there can assist:

I've got a MotoCarbons FRP fairing set (same as Tenkate sell) and the tank cover doesn't seem to meet the sub-frame (MotoHolders) bolting pads at the back of the tank.

This made me start thinking about the fuel cap -

Does the tank cover sit ontop, just squeezing onto the outside of the rubber ring OR is the rubber ring removed, the tank cover installed and the rubber ring re-fitted ?

Sits down on cap should be a thin piece of rubber on tank where it sits in boss

OK, thanks a lot - will give it a go, perhaps I need to line it up a little better - A bit wary of cracking the FRP .

 

Just ram it in there. Use matts hammer ! Nice seat pad what is it plz

 

I bought it from Tenkate racing here - can't find the link for the back pad but it's on there somewhere ! Been buying far too much stuff from them !

 

I assume it's got the bracket in there aswell that sits on the subframe? (basically under the seat pad)

 

Thanks il have a look see looks nice

 

The seat foam is glued on to the tail fairing using contact adhesive. Tenkate sell seat foams that have the foam on a stiff board that bolts to the sub-frame, sandwiching the tail fairing but these were over £100, so I bought the seat foam at about £20-30

 

Thanks for the tip !
