⑤GSXR1100J Rear Maintenance OH Other Work


The fairing area is really crowded—let’s plan the layout keeping in mind that the handlebars need to turn.


Keep it as simple as possible—avoid loose fastening methods where nuts roll around.

It’s very important to install things with maintenance and removal in mind.


The master tank is also moving to the right side for now.


The nav mount installation is tricky—it contacts all sorts of things on the front. If I center it to avoid contact, I can’t see the gauges at all…

When stuck, elimination is the answer. Where do you want it most? And that’s where it ended up.


Since it’s been repainted, welding is out of the question. This time I matched the outer and inner diameters of material that works with the aftermarket wheel damper, cut a groove, and used a pipe-to-pipe connection method.

It looks pretty sturdy.


Cigarette lighter and USB outlets. The problem is there’s no boss sticking out to bolt these to.
I used the same damper material, cut a slot, and clamped it in place—worked out great.

The chain rivet tool arrived today, so installation is complete. All that’s left is wiring and we’re done.
