    Hi all.... Does anyone know of a good kit for the fairing fasteners? I need the ones at the back of the front wheel at the radiator. But would like to buy a kit of different ones....

    Any help greatly appreciated...

    Thanks

    I bought a mixed kit off ebay

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323291683107

    For my VFR not the Fireblade and they get the job done just about. There's nothing decent about them though, really cheap quality plastic etc.

    Just beware you get what you pay for.

    Ordered some off amazon there.. 6mm ones. Will see what they are like first. See on the 2012 Blade in at the handle bars, there is one Big allen head bolt on the fairing then two small ones on the inside.... are these self tapping screws?

    Sounds like its the push pins you're after, loads of kits available on ebay that include loads of other useful fasteners. Just get one specific for your bike and there should be something in the kit that will work. They're not perfect but usable and does the job!

    Sorry mate, I thought you meant the allen headed bolt. Yes those ones you have your finger on are JIS headed self tappers.

    I just get the originals from fowlers parts. A bit expensive but the fit as they should being the correct size. I have tried mixed kits before and sometimes the closest size in the kit just wont go in the hole.
