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.

Solution:

Member Tony Dathan (Poco Red) fabricated a bracket that moves the light bar far enough away from the fairing that it solves this. Following is some pictures of this bracket and instructions on how to install it.

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:

I've sold over 50 of them and have not heard of any problems! They are $35.00 US each ($40.00 Cdn) and that includes airmail postage. To order one, send an email to dathan@shaw.ca

Pictures:

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!
