Cut the Velcro down the middle to make narrow strips if needed.
4. At the back of the instrument cover where it touches the upper cowling I fitted another small
strip of Velcro.
5. The L/H and R/H main cowlings locate into the upper cowling using three tabs. The front is C
shaped and fits in a socket, this was chaffing so I have fitted Velcro around the inside of the
socket. The second tab slides thru a hole, this is covered in Velcro and the rear tab is small and
round, this is also covered in Velcro.
With these covered the fit of the cowlings is not good so a little force (gentle) is needed to make
everything line up during assy.
6. On the L/H and R/H main cowling inner panels I fitted dampers as per the Kawasaki FAR and
fitted a small foam strip between the front indicator wiring hoop and the fairing.
7. L/H & R/H Cowling Upper Trim Panels had chaffs at the back so some Velcro fitted there, also
I noticed that even with the FAR dampers fitted the support tabs on the L/H & R/H main cowling
for the Trim Panels caused fretting, I wrapped the tabs with Velcro.
8. Look for chaffing marks on the L/H & R/H Main Cowlings I found a couple of random spots so
these all got some Velcro.
