nice day today
so i had a little bimble round on the st on me way home from work
coming up to some of me favorite bends i to slide me bum right over and feel summit give on the bike
stopped had a look and ive bust the fixing point on the right hand side (as you sit on it) seat fairing panel

has anyone got a good boch they've done that they can recomend, fix don't need to be mega good just till one comes up on ebay. there's a left on there at the moment, typical!

that is unless one of you peeps has got one floating about some where?

I once broke all my indicator mount points (don't ask) and I used a plastic repair kit from halfords - its like a fibre resin kit with lots of super glue gel. Thew mount points are now rock solid and even if they broke again, they wouldn't go far because of the fibre.
cost was about £10~

Do you have to ask? Want a bodge...ask a bodger.

I assume that you're talking about the little captive nut thingy that sits under your thigh? If it's that mounting point , then just drill a small hole in the bottom of the panel and cable tie it to the frame tube. Works a treat.

Oh... and you could also try getting a smaller ****

it has beedn cable tied
red ones of course

If its the mount Jools refers to, which breaks quite often on the ST's i used a plastic resin repair kit and rebuilt the area and it worked a treat.

I did go into overkill mode with the rebuild as there is so little supporting the orignal fixing point in the first place.

I've got a load of ST bits I'm selling - not sure if I have the bit you need though but probably have. If it's the side pod, then those plastic spiggots with the brass threaded insert are quite weak. I think I used Isopon to repair one once. I have probably got those in with the fairing - it's all boxed up and not looked at it for 2 years or more which is why I am not sure. It'd be black anyway.
