Can any one help. I need a dash panel for my 2KR as mine is cracked at one of the mounts. It was slightly cracked when I bought it and had been re-welded but is in need of replacement. I do not need the instruments as they are ok. DAVE
I had that same problem on my fzr. The fix was to get some metal washers that are about the same size as the mount, and then I loctite'd them into place. Let them dry. Then reattach. The washers will take most of the vibration and the panel won't crack any further.
A picture is worth a thousand words - I think it is a bit past washers Thanks to a previous owner who has tried to weld it up. DAVE[/url]
I'll ask around... but I think there is a better chance getting the whole set of clocks than just the mounting plate...
I think you will find that the early TZR250 had the same clock panel. Item 6 on attached pic. Might help improve your chances <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> 4L0
Thanks for that 4l0 - I might try the wreckers and see if I can get one that way. My other option is to pull it apart and try and either mig weld or bronze it, but that will test my skills. DAVE
Amazing what a bit of TIG welding does. I took it to work and got one of the welders to weld it. A little bit of grinding and fileing and then a repaint. DAVE
That looks 110% better Dave <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
Thanks - certainly saved $200 that wreckers in launceston quoted for a whole dash with instruments. The only cost was just a bit of time and effort. DAVE
