Black Plastic Clips on Fairing..Need to Order

benjammer · 06-24-2007, 02:43 PM

OK., I read they were aggravating, and yes they are. I was being extremely careful and gentle, but still broke one of the black plastic clips when re-assembleing the Left Side Fairing.
I've searched Ebay, and the Forums, but I have not seen a link to order the original Honda Fasteners. I saw a site where they recommended GM Fasteners, but I would prefer the Honda ones.
I'm trying to avoid having to order from the Local Honda Dealer unless I just have to.

If you know of a site/link to order, please let me know. Thanks in Advance for your help.

The Honda part# for the trim clips is: 90683-GAZ-003

I have just finished replacing all of the crap aftermarket clips the previous owner used when he broke the originals on my '02.

Honda missed the boat in so far as there is no mention of how the clips are taken out and replaced in the owner's manual (at least in the '02 manual), or maybe it is intentional.

Thanks for the part number.

My 2007 Manual gives detailed instruction, but they are not built to last. 2007 Manual States:

1. Press down Center Pin to release the lock. (I used a screwdriver to press the center, and it pops right out.)
2. Pull the clip out of the hole.

To Install:
1. Slightly open the retaining pawls and then push them out.
2. Insert the clip into the hole.
3. Lightly press down on the center pin to lock the clip.

Speed if the Link doesn't work, type in Plastic Clips or Clips in the VFR Word Search. There are several links to those type clips.

Hey thanks Benjammer, it is all ways awesome to know where to find those hard to find parts

BikeBandit.com has the actual blow-up parts diagrams with part numbers. Just follow the link for OEM parts, enter your bike and year and start looking through the drawings.

Do a search. Somebody post the Honda instructions on how to remove and insert the OEM clips when you get them.

Follow these directions exactly, and they'll work just fine. A little tricky until you get the hang of it.

I went by the local Honda Dealer today and picked up 3 ($2.50 a piece) of them.
One to replace the broken one, and two more just in case I need them in the future.
The guy at the Honda Dealer told me be glad I didn't have CBR because those bikes had about double the number of plastic clips than the Interceptor.
