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.

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?
