Same here.  There's a XX for sale nearby and I'm exercising all my self control to *not* ring the number. 

We do indeed love pics - both of your 5th gen and 'Bird.

Cheers

Welcome!!

There's a red injected XX near me too.  Fucking killing me.  But I would not have the support of the spousal approval authority.  Nor do I want to store that bike at this time.  I want a friend to buy it, but he's being a pussy.

Can someone explain is there a clip that fastens this as it just appeared.

Ie fairing slightly separated.

Thanks.

You could compare it to the other side. Guessing the black needs to tuck in between the two tangs of the silver section, locating the silver and black closer together. Remove some of the silver fairing screws, hopefully you should be able to pop the black section into the correct location.

Hi thanks mate

Yes the other side is no space showing.

I will loosen the screws and try it.
