22+ Honda Grom/MSX125 Fairing bracket for aftermarket intake/airbox delete

 

WARNING!
If you must cut your carbon fiber tube, do so in a safe environment. Carbon fiber dust is dangerous. 
I use a large tub full of a water, and a bandsaw, hacksaw, or in a pinch pipe cutter. 
Be sure to only remove material when part is fully submerged, or in an appropriate ventilation system. 
I am not responsible for injury related to the assembly or use of these models or instructions.

If your print doesn't fit, do not remove material from the carbon fiber tube. Correct print settings and try again.

 

Print Settings:
Print parts vertically with the hole for the carbon fiber tube on the build plate. Use supports for the nut slot, but do not allow supports in the CF tube hole.
Use support blockers if necessary.

I do not recommend PLA, or high temp plastics without an enclosure as this may affect Z adhesion. 
pa6-CF from polymaker works excellent and has high enough temp resistance to withstand the air cooled motor nearby.
PC, ASA or ABS will work only if done in an appropriate enclosure with adequate heat. Be sure to compensate for shrinkage in the slicer.

Layer height .16-.2 
 


Parts needed:

1x 8mmID x 12mmOD x 250mm Long Carbon Fiber Tube (available on amazon, aliexpress, etc. May have to cut to length)

2x M5 Nuts

Gorrilla Glue or other strong adhesive that will adhere to plastic.

 


Assembly: With Airbox removed, Intake installed, and fairing installed (other than 2 front unsupported screws)
Its not important which side you start with, although if working on the kickstand its easier to start with the left. 
Follow these instructions in order to ensure rotational alignment and prevent unnecessary stress on print/fairing.


Slot nuts into prints, and be sure original fairing screws fit, and thread. Do not tighten fully or you will break the print. If screws dont thread in easily you can remove nut, and carefully drill out screw hole. Dont go to deep.

Leave screws in nuts/print so that screw is lightly seated as far as it will go *HAND TIGHT*

Glue one side of the CF tube into the print, being sure to seat it fully, and let it dry for at least 2 hours.(longer is fine) Gorilla glue will expand over time so apply pressure if possible, and wipe excess frequently to prevent ugly blobs)

Remove screw from glued print, and insert into motorcycle. Screw until tight.

Apply glue to second side, then remove screw.

Carefully pull back on fairing so there is enough room and slide print onto the CF tube.

Rotate print until it seats into the fairing, and squeeze so that it is fully seated on CF tube.

Remove screw from print that was glued earlier, and remove CF tube from the bike.

Reseat screws lightly (HAND TIGHT)

Let sit for 24 hours. Apply pressure if possible, and wipe excess regularly to prevent ugly buildup.

Once dry carefully remove screws. Some glue may leak onto them. Be sure to support print while removing, and not rely on the CF tube/glue

Install into bike and enjoy!

Photos included of parts and it installed in bike new/1000 miles of use. 

Works good to secure led strips to.
