Topic: Mounting race rep fairing question.

[DMcD]

Hello, I have a build thread going on the projects page, so hope this isn't breaking any rules

Can some of you race guys (gals?) reassure me that two rear mountings are sufficient to hold race bodywork?



Seems it would easy enough to have a couple more mountings coming from the front of the frame somewhere just to be sure?  Making my own anyway so a couple more will be no big deal.  Pics would be great if you have them.

Check out Pete White's RSC replica CR750 parts at:

His fairing mounting kits are very close replicas to the genuine RSC parts.

Nice thread Keith thanks.

DMcD, Is this a 500/550? Can you provide a link to your build thread, I must be blind.  I use the same bracket in the rear & the front is the same idea. My lower fairing is longer underneath (within 3" of the rear wheel) so I use a bracket on one side to stabilize and center the rear. Most use exactly the same brackets as you're planning and that's fine.

This from a distance but you can see the rear bracket plus the short one from the bottom engine hanger bolt.

Cheers, bwaller your pic has helped a lot.  This is a link to my thread, if it doesnt work it is on page 3 called cb550 under the knife. (Butchery  )

My fairing is open at the bottom, whereas yours is closed which will give yours extra rigidity.  I will make a couple of extra brackets like yours and investigate joining the lower fairings under the bike.

Thankyou again.

I also added a tab on each lower frame rail, below the crank centerline +-.
