No Fazer pics, but I found some pics of the same plates fitted to my old TRX850 on which I moved the fairing forward to allow me to fit upright Renthal 789 streetfighter bars. I used the same metal plates to move my Fazer's fairing forwards. You can just about spot the plates in the 1st picture (the four mounting hole bolts under the ignition).The fairing frame mounts on two points in front of the headstock (and a mounting point on either side of the half fairing)Basically I bought 2 small, square metal plates and drilled holes to match the spacing of the original. Make sure the metal plates aren't too flimsy / thin. I mounted them either side of the original fairing mounting holes with longer stainless bolts. Unfortunately the plates were sprayed black so hard to make out, but hopefully you can see the nearside plate in the 1st pic.I think they were 10mm diameter holes, about 30mm from centre to centre, but I could be wrong (it was 4 years ago!). I then drilled another pair of matching holes about 30 mm away from the originals and also about 10mm higher. I sued four stainless hex head bolts longer than the standard Yam bolts, in the pic, the two on the right were the original fairing frame mounting point holes, while the two on the left were the newly created mounting plate holes 30mm forwards for the fairing frame to attach. The additional side-fairing mounts were two small strips of metal with the holes 30mm apart, again you can see on the TRX the side mount bolt and another (original mounting point just under it). Again, sprayed black they werent too obvious, and only the bike's owner is aware of the mod....As you can see my TRX's standard clip-ons were replaced by Renthal 789's which don't even fit on the FZS600 without some fairing fouling. I drilled the new fairing frame holes 10mm higher to move the fairing up & out of the way a little to allow even more handlebar to fairing clearance. I think I did have to readjust the headlight aim for Mot, tho, but no biggie. If you keep the drill holes the same height then no headlight adjustment needed.If there's enough demand, I might compose a separate 'Kebab19 fairing frame mod' thread... Yes, she did wheelie like a loon and yes, I'm sorry I got rid of her
Used to love them TRX'sBut I could never see me buying a TDM even though it's nearly the same bike. Anyone else have their opinion?
