Does anyone know what I need to remove in order to retrieve one of the 4 captive nuts that slipped behind the front bodywork when I removed the screen?What a crap design,you would have thought Honda would have made them fixed.Thanks in advance.

A lot of stuff and it is not really worth it. I had removed all that in order to change the power socket fuse that had gone and managed to push one of those in while putting the screen back :frown2: I took the easy way out and purchased a new one from Honda, the cost is 2-3 GBP in the UK, not worth the hassle of removing everything yet again.

Well I managed to retrieve the little sod,only took about 3 hours to get the left hand fairing off and back on again.At least I can now see how its done,should make future work easier.What a crap design.Used to take about 10 mins to take the FULL fairing of my old 350 Powervalve.Progress eh?

Your not a true member until you've dropped those nuts!
I was putting the bike back together after installing the Honda 12V socket when I did it, so I took it all apart again to retrieve the nut as the disassembly process was still fresh in my mind, but as the other guys said its probably not worth it.
