I'm putting my 1993 VR all back together right now but I'm confused about how certain parts are supposed to be assembled. My primary points of confusion are with the lower part of the upper cowling and the mirrors. I didn't take pics of mine like I had planned to when I was taking it apart and can't seem to find any on the site that just show a VR with all the side covers removed except the upper cowling. The parts fiche isn't really easy to understand where this area is concerned.
The mirrors look like they should be supported better than just mounting them on top of the ABS plastic covering the metal frame in that spot. It looks like it would be easy to crack the ABS by mounting a mirror there but I don't see any spacers spelled out in the arts fiche or anything.
This information on body plastics is sorely lacking here on the site, there is nothing in the read-only Tech Library section for First Gen. With the loss of some of the older photos from threads I was unable to find anything promising in a search of the First Gen Tech Talk area.
Please help out if you can?
