thank you I had miss read the post then, and thought the whole cross piece on the plastic fairing should be removed... phew nearly had the dremel spinning upYes I too have read that the rear plastic section that joins the sides of the belly pan has been cut out by some to aid oil draining. The metal bracket that bolts to the engine should not be removed.
I've had the Bergmen adapter on my Connie sine they first came out but I read someplace that they might be coming to the end of production so now would be the time to switch over.

When we posted this situation on a couple of forums (not this one) people started coming out of the woodwork and sales have been revived. There are no technical reasons for considering discontinuance.
So, who knows. We are watching this somewhat carefully because of the reason stated above. Gary is well stocked at this time so they are available.

A whole new set of owners were alerted to it's being out there who probably weren't out there at its introduction.
Different question, which front end did you swap in?
Where the heck do you guys find a whole ZRX front end? Do you buy a whole bike and strip it?
I don't suppose that the front end bolted straight on ...did it? As if? Lots of jiggling and swearing?
