Fitting a bellypan
 

Hello

I need some advice, the bellypan in the picture (sorry not very good) has a lug (B) which will match up with (A) But on the other side (sidestand)

(A) has no thread or purpose that I can see although lines up with (B)

so how do I secure the bellypan?:o






I know what I mean:lol:

Steve there is a bracket that comes off the rear brake mastercylinder.
I have just had a few made in stainless along with brackets for the other side that bolt on near the sidestand

Hello Skidlids

The hole at (A) goes all the way through the engine with no treads

If you have one spare, would be most helpful.

I maybe at devil for midday, but I know you are on shift work.

I can wait and PayPal you if you prefer?

Steve can you get to Fox's on Monday evening or Englands Rose (quick trip up the M40) on Thursday evening

Hello Skidlids

sorry I am on shifts all night during the week

I will PM you next week is that ok?

Hi, if its any help i had this problem on a Honda a few years ago. The kit had a bolt that runs the length of the engine and connects with a bracket on the other side. If all else fails you could buy a bolt and fix through the belly pan (assuming theres a bracket on the other side?)

You can just make out the bracket coming off the rear Mastercylinder in this pic http://www.sigmaperformance.com/748rs00no9big.jpg

And the otherside http://www.sigmaperformance.com/748rs00no7big.jpg

Hello Skids

Thanks for the pics, looking at them I see the v piece sits infront of the bellypan, which would give more room to align with your bracket, however my bellypan sits behind the v piece so I need to align here see pic, as Chief RB was saying, I guess I could still use the bracket, will have a think and get back to you.

Steve
This might help, here are a couple of close up pics of either side of my bellypan brackets.

Hello Karl

I think they would do just the job, did you make the brackets up yourself?
I am trying to fit the bloody nose cone, which as you will see is way out
with the side panels.:)

Yes used a Dremel tool to make them.

I've got 3 brackets that are supposed to fix the belly pan to the bike so that I can remove the side panels without taking the belly pan off.

From this thread I've learned where 2 of them go but can any one of you tell me where the third one goes. I suspect it's up front somewhere.

Thanks!

You mean there's another bracket, couple of my bikes only have the two at the back
Any chance of a pic of the third bracket

Yes, the set of brackets I bought contains 3 brackets and I suspect one of them goes up front but I'm not sure.

I believe the bracket on the left and right in the picture are the ones that mount on each side of the engine (rear end of the belly pan).

I don't have a clue about the one in the middle, though.

It would make sense if it mounts to the front of the belly pan, wouldn't it?

If not, how do you make sure the belly pan stays in place when you remove the two side fairings?

Yes, there is a bracket on the nose of the belly pan. I'll try to post a pic of how it all fits. It will then allow you to leave the belly pan in place with the side panels removed.

Bracket on left of Pic fits rear rigtht of belly pan as it mounts off the two screws that bolt the rear mastercylinder on. The bracket in the middle fits to the rear left of the bellypan using a 10mm bolt and uses the threaded hole in the crankcases just rearward of where the sidestand bolts on, Bracket on right of pic must be for the front of the bellypan but as I haven't seen one before I have no idea where it fits.

Bump. I'd love to see those pictures, Felix :D

The front belly pan bracket has a Dzus fastener that goes throught the V piece, where it steps in for the mesh vent hole.

By the way, where can I got hold of a similar belly pan for my track bike?

I've got one + the v piece, I'm going to fix it a a bit if your interested.
