Traveller fairing behind clocks-Any Photo's

[Norman Wade]

Another suggestion: The standard fairing mirrors have the mounting screws 40mm apart. This is a fairly common spacing amongst Japanese bikes . If you search for '40mm mirrors' on Ebay, then restrict it to 'motorcycle parts', you'll find plenty of them. If you get a pair like this:

(Suzuki GSXR range), they have a pivot near the bottom. This might allow the mirror to fold back enough to allow your bike through the gate. If not, you could replace the pivot screw with something quickly detachable, like a bicycle seatpost skewer:

When you wanted to go through the gate, flick the lever on the skewer to loosen it and undo the knurled nut, then remove the mirror.

Norman,
Nice suggestion on the skewer. I'll have to figure out how the seatpost skewers work. The ones on the front and rear wheel of my cycle are made differently. I'll have to do a bit of research.

P.S Just looked into this and it wouldnt work for my application. A bit too complex. I'll probably go with the M6 Knurled nuts I have already and drill them so I can insert a quick release pin (just found out they're called R Clips). Something similar to the way racing bolts are wired. Obviously it will have to be quick release or it defeats the whole object. That should solve the problem of the bolts vibrating loose. Only problem is they're stainless steel. Probably better off getting the bolt, spacer and knurled nut made up in aluminium. Easier to drill and just as strong (and cheaper).
