14 Hantone Hill
Hi Remi,
I had exactly similar problem and solved it as follows:
I made a vertical cut by Dremel to the back side of the fairing.
After it was possible to stretch it enough to slide in over the fork.
Before painting I sealed the cutting by Sika mass
and added a small alumimium clip by two pop-rivet for extra strenght.
Very easy, fast and straightforward - so far no penalties att all.
If necessary it is also easy to remove now.
Be carefull - fairing material is quite brittle.
Hope this helps, Raimo

Subject: Europa-List: removal of nylon outrigger legs
Hello all,
I just received my monowheel speed kit. I tried to remove the
outrigger OR3 fork to install the fairings. No way. Then I tried to
remove the nylon leg from OR1. Impossible. May be the nylon has
expanded with aging . Any suggestion ?
