Oil cooler air guide

[DEG5Y]

Since I bought my bike, I have always been under the impression that my 98 bike has been wearing an injection top fairing. This was because of the lack of the oil cooler air guide. Well having taken it off it is now obvious as there are no and have never been any lugs for fixing a scoop in.
I have a guide that I want to fit, as the absence is what I now believe could be the cause of my bike cutting out in heavy rain.

What would be the best way of constructing and fitting a new pair of lugs to the fairing?

oil cooler scoop or the plastic baffles that sit in front of the air intakes?

2 different things


Oil cooler scoop is item 9 , I think 39 & 41 are the baffle things

If it is number 9 your missing then simply lining it up with the front nostrills will give you a position for the mounting lugs (I think)

It is No9 the 'scoop' or 'guide'. The positioning as you say isn't a problem it's a recommendation on how to attach brackets to the fairing.

Just while typing I thought 'hot melt' glue.

or one of the "metal" epoxies


I've used this stuff to hold the projector in my headlamp, has been in over 15k miles now and held in place after the headlamp went down the road (with the rest of the bike) in Italy
