After spending many a fun hour trying to take the daytona fairings off Ive decided I never want to go through this torture again. Those bloody philips head push in screws/raw plug like things are a nightmare.
Has anyone replaced theirs with anything easier?
I seen a few yanks had managed it any one here in the UK? If so where did you get the screws/bolts from.
Believe it or not...I found the best way to make it easier is to take the OEM plastic screw on rivets and actually beat them down with a rubber mallet for a bit....but not too much where it's cracking and falling apart. This will soften it up to the point where you can just push them out from the pointy side.
For replacement I go to Lowe's and they have 1/4" ones exactly like OEM for much cheaper.
The other possibility or alternative is to install DZUS fasteners with S-clips. You will need to do some drilling a rivet gun to do this mod.
I plan to take the fairing off at the weekend again but start from the bottom up ill try not being so rough with the screws
