Well my quicksilver came in Saturday morning (Have you ever heard of Fed Ex ground del on Sat?) and I went right to work on trying to mount them on my 400F. The fairing came with single tube bike type mount. Not sure what bike it was for . I could force it to work but it would shove the fairing way too high so that it looked funny plus it would not let the bars turn at all. If you ever run into this situation , there is a nice little mounting point that works great. On the 75 (and 76 i think) , the horn is mounted sideways via 2 bolts that go thru the frame. The horn really doens't need 2 bolts so I used the first hole as a mounting point. But I still needed to get the fairing level and away from the bars. My shoei nos hard bags came with plenty of spare hardware, so i used 2 2" bars (with holes on each end) and tried those as extenders (basically mouting one end to the fairing bracket and the other to the bike frame . They were too long so I temp mounted them to fairing frame mount point and then eyeballed where it should be aprox and marked with pencil. Put in vise and drilled out. Got lucky as it worked perfectly the first time. Anyway it works great and looks great on the 400F. I have 2 basic questions; 1) on the lower mount frame mount point, it attaches to bike via a u bolt. The one that came with mine had some pitting so I would like to replace at some point. Lowes said they didn't have it and had no idea where I could get it like it was something special. It looks like a normal u bolt to me but anyone know for sure and where to get one? 2) My windsheild has one or 2 small scratches and again- would like to replace at some point. I see them advertised all over the web but can anyone recommend a particual replacement as good quality? 3) any locking glove box covers out there?
I have seen a full windjammer on a 400f before and (to me) it was a bit too big. But this one is just right. If you want to see a few low reasolution pictures of what it looks like on a 400f check here: http://fletch.bml.usouthal.edu/quicksilver/ Regards, Fletch
