[Ducati] 900 SP fairing

[Alec Moss]

Kevin,

Actually, it's not the plastic that is cracked, but the paint, and only a
tiny bit.  I just want to stop it so am trying the grommets.  Yes I have to
sort of wrestle the thing into place, but no more so than without the
grommets.  And now the bolts don't touch plastic.

Yes it came with nylon washers, but I threw in some nylon bushings that fit
the holes (just the two front holes on each side where it bolts to the
subframe) perfectly and keep the threads of the bolt from touching any of
the plastic fairing.

I'll keep you posted.
