I think they're TCP fairing lowers:

Fitment should be relatively easy if you bought them new - I'd assume they'd come with a fitting kit.

As above, I would have thpought that the fixing kit comes with them. They look good.

You can see your fixing points, where the screw heads are showing. Its highly likely that the locations use already existing holes on the bike framework, just have a good look around and match them up

TCP had production in Spain, they closed in 2015 and nothing in stock either. I already asked them, they sent me mounting instructions.

Anyone knows the name of those claps or moutings?

if these are not available anymore you might be able to fashion up some brackets using what is available from diy stores and ebay
just google the names of stuff and you will find them (you will have to measure stuff though)


fig 4+3 shows what would be called a munsen ring - readily available, even at screwfix


fig 2 is just a munsen ring backplate which are usually flat
------- because of the spacing here i would just make up the plate myself with alloy flat bar then drill a central hole to short bolt a threaded spacer to create this piece then use a washer between the fairing and threaded spacer to stop it breaking through


fig 1 - this is where you are going to have to get really creative with a piece of alloy flat bar and a vice to start bending it (impossible to guess from a drawing)


there are rubber lined munsen rings out there but its on you to find them


hope this gives you a backup if nothing else is available

The fittings in 2 3 and 4 look very much like those for the (official) Yamaha belly pan. I've got one. 3 and 4 fit round the lower frame tube, and 2 allows for a large spacer (the silver bit) to bolt the bellypan to the frame.


No idea about 1.


Also no idea where you could get them....

and of course there is that bolt by the rad - my guess would be it just bolts to the rads side cover mounts - might need a spacer in there aswell but i wouldnt use a threaded spacer if it does - just drill the threads out from any left over threaded spacers and use them with washers in place (araldite may be your friend on this to hold washers in place)


<<<backyard engineering degree is in the post

Thanks alot, just the name of the munsen ring helps.

We have a set of TCP lowers on our Fazer 1000. I'm thinking of getting a copy set (spares) of the mountings made up by a mate with an engineering facility and then seeing how close they are to working on our Fazer 600.


If they're close, I'm going to get a set made up to match the 600 and look for some panels - there are some on eBay that look just like TCP ones - my brain tells me they may be from TCP moulds, or copies of their moulds.


Where did you get your panels Nobrakes ?

Had a measure up of the brackets in diagram 2. As shown two bolts on each side to the existing holes on the frame. Brackets are 7cm in length with 0.8cm spacers. End of brackets are 4cm in diameter with the silver spacer holding the bellypan/fairing to the bracket. Silver spacer is held to the bracket with a 6mm Allen key bolt. Hope this helps.
