Passing Light Spacer

Submitted by Tony Dathan.

Problem:

One of the common complaints about the Yamaha passing light kit for the RSV is that it mounts so close to the fairing that removing the fairing becomes very difficult requiring one to either remove or loosen the passing light bracket.

Installation:

When the bracket arrives you will need 2 3/8" NC x 3/4" long bolts and lock washers. I got these at Home Depot for under two bucks. Undo your light bar.

Use the 8mm bolts to fasten the bracket where the light bar was and then

using the 3/8" bolts bolt the light bar to the bracket. Most of us that have

the bracket can now split the fairing without touching the light bar or at

least just loosening it a few turns. Might depend on the actual lights you

have.

Basically you undo the light bar, put the bracket where the bar was, then

mount the light bar to the bracket!

How to get one:

You can contact me at dathan@shaw.ca

The price at this time is $27.50 USD. That includes the postage as well!

The following are some shots I've taken in the past! #5 shows the clearance

between the back of the light and the fairing. This started as a way of my

being able to clean between the light and the fairing. Taking the fairing

off without touching the light bar was just a huge bonus!

I have one and it does all that it claims to do, the only problem is if you have the visors on your turnsignal lights you have to work the fairing over them.

I got one from Tony, installed it and now getting the fairing off is a breeze.

The extra clearance also makes cleaning around the passing light bar a lot easier!

Cheers,
