SUZUKI GSX 1300R Hayabusa: Assembly Guide
Insert a 2.3 × 6mm silver self-tapping
screw (Stage 42) into one of the pairs
of aligned holes near the bottom of the
shield, as shown above.
Tighten another 2.3 × 6mm silver self-
tapping screw into the holes on the other
side of the shield.
Align the holes in the shield with the
corresponding holes in the cowl.
This is an example of clear
gloss varnish spray.
When applying varnish to any
of the cowling pieces, you must
rst remove them from the
bike. When spraying the pieces,
use half a cardboard box as a
temporary spray booth, and set it
up in a well-ventilated area. Hold
the can about 25-30cm away
from the piece to be sprayed, and
never spray near a hot surface
or a naked ame. Let the rst
coating dry and then repeat the
process until you achieve the
eect you want.
Tighten the screw into place.
