Dzus fastener thingys

[Chief R.B.]

Just been looking around on t'internet for a set of Dzus bolts so i can change some of the fairing bolts from those god awful well nuts on my SSie, and I keep putting it off so while its off the road I really should get it done!

Does anyone know if a set of 1/4 turn fasteners from the 916 series (sliding clip type) will fit on a 900ssie with/without any modifications?

Thanks

I'm looking into getting my fasteners underneath the fairing changed to Dzus in the New Year.

Watch this space.

They worked on my ST4S so you should be fine with them on your 900....

Thats what I want o change, sick of them getting covered in all sorts of **** and then getting into all sorts of demented positions trying to undo the nuts!
from looking at pics, they'll fit without much hassle if I can get the D ring to fit through both parts of the bellypan and the clip, and if they fit other bikes thats a good start...

thanks!

I now have 4 Dzus fasteners underneath my 900SSie fairing. I can't claim to have done it myself, louigimoto did, as the bike was in dock for other stuff. This should make fairing removal a lot easier, as the side well-nut fasteners don't seem to give too much trouble, it's the ones at the bottom that seize up. If anyone is interested I'll take some pix sometime.

That's great should make life a lot easier for you! I'll do mine if I ever get round to ordering them...
