What have you done to your bike today....

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

No rubber grommets on these..just hard plastic...

It should be rubber grommets with pins already incorporated into the fairing when it came out of the mould at the plastics factory..
I have no idea what as happened here..
Like @Don the Don says now we need to remove it all as safely as possible and go from there..
Unfortunately I lack finess and patience when a so called 20 minute job starts going into three hours later and looking like taking up the whole day..

 

[Don the Don]

Just looking at it won't get it done, some times you have to take the bull by the bollocks, remove all old fixing as best you can Duck with whatever tools you have and try very hard to find that inner patience without doing a Donald Duck on it and ripping the poor machine to shreds,
Or is there anyone near who can help?

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

100% NOT WHAT SHOULD BE ON THERE..
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW IT WAS FITTED ON IN THE FIRST PLACE

Well you ain't actually got any real psychiatric facilities around here so..Nope..No help coming any time soon

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

That section is exactly how it should be...


The next bit though is a Philips screwdriver...what the fuck...you can't get a screwdriver in there

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

The manual and youtube lied to me..three additional bolt/screws attach to the fairing..one of which I've totally destroyed..
No idea how to get it all back on..However I'm now missing a bolt/screw anyway so it's all been a bit disappointing so far...

Was going to do the coolant flush and change but just put the new battery on, pumped the tyres and took advantage of the weather..

Show us a photo of the damaged part and measurements of it

Should I start to fit it or leave alone until I know how to fit it...

 

[Don the Don]

leave alone until I know how to fit it.

This sounds the best option, get all your fixings together and work out the best way to fit and how to fit the indicator then start to rebuilt, "check twice fit once"

I thought I had a Haynes manual around here for the versys but I can't find it..making me think it was left behind in the move..☹

Can you get Alan key type screw drivers..I'm wondering if that's how it was fitted

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

Coffee break with splash of rum or whiskey in order now methinks

Whilst they are very nice and may work on one particular fitting they are too big for this one..gap of about a inch or two if lucky...

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

I'm struggling to get a Haynes manual for less than £25...WTF

 

[BAD LUCK DUCK]

However I'm not struggling with this
Hey its all part of what I'm doing with my motorbike today so bollox

The hard plastic clips are in two pieces.
An outer ring & a central part.
To release them you simply gently press down in the centre.
I can't see why you're struggling Duck.
