Squeaky bodywork
« on: 24 March 2016, 11:26:45 am »
I went for a ride yesterday without my ear plugs in and one thing i noticed was how irratatingly annoying was the squeaks and rattly noises coming from my Gen 1 bodywork. Infact it's the tail piece . The whole thing sounds like it might be filled with Mice. The Infills at the front made a lot of noise and this was remedied with strips of foam. Do you guys think I should disassemble my pert rear end and put foam in between the parts prior to re-fitting? Or have you done something better?

I've used velcro before with good results.
It sticks really well on flat surfaces, and if you just use the soft sided velcro and tighten things on to it, it can stop squeaks and noises.
Think i last used it on infill panels and the fairing screen to quieten things down.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

Velcro is a great idea. I think that might be the solution. Thanks.
