GSX-R1100L Rear Maintenance OH Underbody Cowl Quick Fastener Inspection

After grinding, we tack-weld the shortened receiver and we’re done.


Now we just wait for it to cool.


Now the underbody cowl attaches and detaches easily with fasteners.

Pretty convenient. We forgot to order the swingarm washer, so that’s on hold for now…
