To have the mirrors mount flush, you will have to cut these raised portions off. I used a dremel witha cut off wheel and then a sanding drum. Wear eye protection.

You want it to look like this when you are done

Next the holes in the cowl need to be enlarged. DO NOT simply try to drill them larger. I found out the hard way and put a nice crack in the cowl. I repaired it with jb weld from underneath for now, but will replace it in the near future. At least the majority of ther crack is under the mirror mounting base and hard to see. Use a dremel with a grinding stone similar to this and be careful. You might want to tape up the surrounding area in case you slip.

Holes enlarged

Mount the cowl back on the bike. Run 2 long m6 x 1.0 bolts up from underneath through the aluminum cowl support, through the cowl, and into the mirror base. You're going to have to play around with it to line up the holes. The front bolt poses a bit of a problem as the aluminum there has a curve so it won't mount flush. Grinding it won't help much as the support is hollow. I chose to remedy this by using an extra long bolt and a washer. I cleaned up the appearance by putting black vacuum cap over the bolt head.

You cna see in the pic above the front mounting bolt covered by the vacuum cap and the silver one just behind it. I may paint the silver bolt black in the future to conceal it further or find a different style bolt head. Plug in the signals and secure the wires somehow. I used black zip ties to keep them neat. Test out the signals

Now for the unsightly holes left in the fairings

I cut out the plastic backing that the stock signals mount to from the inside witha dremel and high speed cutter that looks like a drill bit. Be careful and go slow as not to damage the paint on the outside. I then made some mesh out of some extra window screen material I had. This was secured to the inside with a rubber band to hold it in place while I covered it with jb weld. I used the quick setting kind. An epoxy would also work.

Next I masked off the fairing and the opening and mesh with some black paint.

End result. Kind of hard to see the mesh in the pic
